Abstract

A drill bit for reverse drilling in a drill hole being produced by a percussive, fluid-actuated drill includes an elongated drill bit body having a bore extending there through for transmission of a fluid, the body terminating in a head end portion and a shank end portion. Abrasive resistant drilling buttons are arrayed on both the head end portion and the shank end portion to resist abrasion by the material being drilled, during either forward or reverse drilling.
