A bit designed for drilling in soft formations and for use on a double-tube core barrel, the inner tube of which fits snugly into a recess cut into the inside wall of the bit directly above the inside reaming stones. The bit is provided with a number of holes drilled longitudinally through the wall of the bit, through which the circulation liquid flows and is ejected at the cutting face of the bit.
Industry:Mining
A bit designed to grind or cut foreign metallic material or junk in a borehole into pieces small enough to be washed out of the hole or recovered by a basket. Compare: milling bit; rose bit.
Industry:Mining
A bit equipped with hardened serrations or teeth used to grind or cut away metallic materials or junk obstructing a borehole.

Industry:Mining
A bit made by reusing the sound diamonds salvaged from a used drill bit and setting them in the crown attached to a new bit blank. Some new diamonds usually are added to those salvaged, since generally not all of the salvaged or recovered stones are reusable.
