PDC (Polycrystalline Diamond Compact/Composite) drill bits are an effective tool for drilling into homogeneous sedimentary rock formations such as shale, sandstone, dolomite, limestone etc. These drill bits use the shearing scraping or shaving action when encountering the rock formation.
PDC bits are the most rigid of all the diamond tool materials. They are made by combining layers of polycrystalline diamond (synthetic diamond) with substrate of carbide at high temperature and pressure.
Rocksmith offers high quality PDC bits which have been specially designed to withstand higher impact and abrasion. Our PDC bits are of premium quality being used extensively in water bore drilling, oil and gas exploration.

Overview of our range of PDC Drill Bits
RockSmith have extensive range of sizes and types of PDC Bits, ready for despatch to you where ever you are.
Conical Insert PDC Bits
Conical PDC bits apply a significantly higher concentrated point load on the rock with the special conical design, and the cutter's thicker diamond table enhances impact strength and wear resistance. This combination enables the user's PDC drill bit to highly improve footage and ROP in very challenging drilling applications, e.g., hard, interbedded, conglomerate, chert- and pyrite-inclusive formations that can easily cause impact damages to conventional drill bits.
DTH hammer bits with PDC button
DTH (Down-the-Hole) hammer bits with PDC (Polycrystalline Diamond Compact) buttons are an advanced type of drilling tool that combines the high-impact drilling method of DTH systems with the extreme hardness and wear resistance of PDC cutting elements. These bits are used in demanding drilling environments, especially in hard, abrasive rock formations.
All sizes and thread configerations available.
Chevron PDC Bits
PDC (Polycrystalline Diamond Compact) chevron drill bits offer several advantages, primarily their higher rate of penetration (ROP) and longer lifespan compared to other bit types like roller cone bits. This leads to increased drilling efficiency and reduced costs due to faster drilling times and fewer bit changes. They also provide better steerability and are more versatile in various formations.
All sizes and thread configerations available.
Arc Angle PDC bits
PDC Arc Angle bits are primarily designed for drilling in soft to medium-hard formations, such as soils, mudstone, shale, and sandstone (formations with a hardness rating (f) between 4 and 8). Frequently used in coal mine applications like gas drainage boreholes, water detection, and geological exploration.
All sizes and thread configerations available.
PDC Core PDC Bits
PDC Core Bits are ideal for drilling through a variety of rock formations, particularly in applications like geotechnical investigation, environmental investigation, and mineral exploration. They are known for their fast penetration rates, long service life, and ability to be used with various flushing mediums like water, polymer, or air.
Core Bits excel in formations with a Mohs hardness scale of 2-4, including shale, sandstone, dolomite, limestone, and abrasive formations. They can also be effective in harder limestones with occasional bands of ironstone.They can also be effective in harder limestones with occasional bands of ironstone.
