Abstract

The invention relates to the geometry of drill bits for jet assisted rotary drilling. According to the invention there is used a drill bit comprising platelets of small radial dimension disposed about a central burster in a discontinuous peripheral crown axially extending said drill bit, channels for supplying pressurized fluid opening from the crown close to the platelets. Said platelets are preferably separated from one another by rectilinear discharge ramps. A drill bit in accordance with this invention can be manufactured e.g. by turning or milling. It can be applied for drilling rock formations in mines, and other hard materials.
