KAT DRILLING
1 / 5
Bench and production drilling tools include rods, shank adapters, couplings and bits. We offer seven main thread types: R3212, R32, HL38, T38, T45, T51, T60, ST58, and ST68. These are compatible with button bits, cross bits, and reaming products.
Drifter Rod (Tunneling Rod): Available in round and hexagon shapes. Hexagon rods are utilized primarily for tunneling and drifting applications as they are more rigid, heavier, and transfer energy more efficiently while increasing flushing capabilities.
Extension Rod (Speed Rod): Available in M/F rod configurations with hexagonal and round cross sections. Round rods are generally lighter and commonly used in standard extension drilling applications. Conventional extension steel features duplicate threads on each end.
