Taper drill rod is essentially used for rock drilling, blasting holes and other drilling works in quarries, coal mines, traffic and other construction projects. It works in conjunction with taper drill bits and is available in different lengths for various applications.
Our taper drill rods come in a variety of taper angles. Generally, light-duty rock drills use a 7° taper or smaller, while heavy-duty rock drills mainly utilize 11° or 12° taper angles. It is critical that taper drill rods and taper drill bits share the same tapered degree for optimal performance. We provide tapered rods in a full range of shank configurations and steel hex diameters for hand-held pneumatic drilling needs.
Technical Note: Shank hex. 22 mm (7/8") x 108 mm (4 1/4"). Rod hex. 22 mm (7/8"). Flushing hole diameter 6.7 mm.
