Cutter elements for hollow drill bit

摘要

A hollow drill bit is formed of an axially extending tubularly-shaped support member (1) with cutter elements (2) inserted into the leading end (1a) of the support member. Each cutter member (2) has a radially outer surface (2a) and a radially inner surface (2b) with channels (2c, 2d) in each surface inclined relative to the axis of the support member (1). The channels (2c,2d) carry a flowable cooling agent to the leading end of the drill bit, and remove drillings produced by the bit from the leading end.
