Product Introduction

The R25 64mm Retrac Button Bit is a top hammer rock drilling bit engineered for quarrying, mining, construction and general rock drilling. With a 64 mm (2-1/2 inch) drilling diameter and a retrac skirt design, this threaded button bit delivers dependable performance in fractured or loose rock formations where tool retrieval and borehole control are critical.

The retrac skirt reduces the risk of the bit becoming stuck or buried during drilling and helps maintain borehole straightness. The tungsten carbide button configuration provides effective rock penetration and long wear life under demanding conditions. Compatible with R25 drill rods, shank adapters and couplings, it forms part of a complete top hammer drilling system.
