Introduction.

The object of this thesis is to find out the

ralati va cutting quali ties of different kinds of rock

drill bits. The bits tested were: the regular cross bit,

the Z bit of the Southeast Missouri type and the bull

bit of the Joplin type. All these bits were made on a

No. 5 Lsyner Sharpener and were tempered as nearly alike

as possible. All conditions were kept as nearly uniform

as ~ossible during the various tests; air pressure,

length of stroke, size of bit, etc., the only variables

entering being the difference 1n bits and personal

equation of o?srators.

2

The following data are the result of practical

experiments done with different kind of bits, using

an Ingersoll-Rand C 110. Butterfly machine working

under a pressure of 80 Ibs.

The Machine was mounted on a vertioal column

whioh was fixed in a wooden frame made for the

purpose.

The rock used for the experiments was hard

granite from S9utheas~ Missouri. Holes were drilled

sligh tly inclined dov,~nwards so as to hold the amount

of water necessary for wet drilllna. Water was put

in by hand.

The following curve~ have been plotted from

the preceding data and show mora clearly the relative

cutting qualities of the'different kinds of rock

drill b1ts used.

19

Conclusion.

Some of the results obtained by the experimenur.

tend to show: that the Z bit cuts faster in the long

run than the regular cross bit.

The disadvantage in using Z bits being: that

starters ch1p-ofr at the edges eas1ly. Th1s may be

obviated b,y us1ng a b1gger cross bit starter and

then follow1ng 1t up with the Z bit starter or directly

w1th Z bit second.
