Abstract
A core drill bit can include a first region and a second region. The first region can include abrasive particles in a first bond matrix, and the second region can include abrasive particles in a second bond matrix. The first region is connected to the second region. The first region comprises at least one different abrasive characteristic than the second region. At least one of the first and second region can include a Fast Fourier Transform value greater than 1.
