A drag bit is a drilling tool characterized by its metal, cone-shaped design, utilized to penetrate and grind through underground rock formations or sediments.
Constructed from materials of exceptional hardness and coated with highly wear-resistant substances such as diamonds or tungsten carbide, drag bits excel in their ability to efficiently grind down geological materials. Their tips are typically fashioned with teeth or blades, enhancing their capability to fracture and breakthrough rock formations.
Drag bits are indispensable in diverse drilling operations, including geological surveys, mining, oil and gas exploration, and the removal of underground obstacles. They are particularly valuable in environments where traditional drilling methods falter, such as within extremely soft or notably hard geological formations.
