Top hammer drill bits

Sandvik Top hammer drill bits offer extended wear life, higher penetration rates, straighter holes and longer bit life. Threaded button bits use a proprietary grade of cemented carbide throughout and range from 28 - 152 mm in diameter. Various button shapes (spherical, semi-ballistic, and conical) and skirt designs (regular or retrac) deliver optimal performance in different rock formations.

Curved thread CT55 and CT67 black background

CT55 and CT67 for surface

CT55 and CT67 curved thread systems are designed for surface mining and quarrying. These systems accommodate higher drilling power than standard and feature a curved profile that reduces stress levels strategically while optimizing the product for fatigue strength.

Straight, precise holes

Sandvik MF rod strings deliver exceptionally straight holes, reducing deviation by up to 40%. Straighter holes lead to improved cost-effectiveness since hole deviation can affect profitability due to poor fragmentation.

Reduced downtime

Sandvik Alpha™ uses different flank angles of the thread profile, which reduces stress levels in the critical area of the tightening flank, where many breakages begin. Fewer bit changes mean more time spent on drilling operation, which also results in less manual handling and a lower risk of injury.

Face drilling and bolting

Drifter rods, couplings, shank adapters and button bits with PowerCarbide® technology are for drilling 33 mm to 51 mm holes. Sandvik Alpha™ 330 ensures excellent collaring accuracy, hole straightness, faster ore access and shorter tunneling projects with a short thread design and double guide system.

Handheld drilling

Sandvik’s integral drill steels, tapered rods and bits for handheld drilling support your operations. Carburized rods offer extended tool life and productivity, while tapered button bits reduce costs and increase wear resistance. Equipped with PowerCarbide® technology, bits enhance drilling operations significantly.

Long-hole drilling

MF rods, drill tubes, shank adapters and drill bits deliver efficient penetration. They create straight drill holes and enable autonomous drilling, reducing total production costs.
