ABSTRACT:
A percussive drill for extension drilling includes a drill bit, a tube having a male screw thread attached to a female screw thread of the drill bit, and a rod having a male screw thread attached to a female screw thread of the tube. Central passages of the rod and tube are aligned with one another to conduct flushing fluid to the drill bit. The drill bit drills a hole whose diameter is from 60-170 mm and at least twice the outer diameter of the rod. A total area of a cross-sectional surface of the tube is within 100-125% of a total area of a cross sectional surface of the rod.
