Abstract

A rock drill in which the depth of the recessed groove for accommodating the cutting body is made greater than the axial brazing-in depth of the cutting body whereby a largely stress-free seating of the cutting body results. In particular, for rock drills for making break-throughs, this recessed groove extended in the radial direction into lobes of a drill head can be used for locating cutting bodies in the lobes.
