Abstract

A rock drill for rotary and percussive stressing exhibits equally good or improved transport characteristics of driling dust for a smaller transport groove as compared with prior rock drills. In order to achieve this, a main transport groove having longitudinal profiles is formed, with an interrupted secondary transport groove integrated in the main transport groove, the transport ribs of which exhibit a greater angle of twist than the angle of twist of the main transport groove.
