DTH drill bit with carbide buttons

DTH Drill Bits

Down-The-Hole percussion drill bits for hard rock mining applications.

Down-The-Hole Drilling

DTH (Down-The-Hole) drilling places the hammer directly behind the bit at the bottom of the hole, delivering maximum impact energy to the rock face. This method is ideal for hard rock conditions where rotary drilling cannot achieve the required penetration rates.

Our DTH bits are manufactured with precision-machined button pockets and fitted with quality tungsten carbide buttons in-house. This ensures consistent button retention and optimal drilling performance.
