Abstract
A cutting bit has a bit body, and a cutting element formed as a trihedron with three faces which form three rock destructing blades, so that the cutting bits can be turned to orient alternatively a respective one of the rock destructing blades in a cutting direction in the event of dulling or breaking of another one of the rock destructing blades.
Claims3
A cutting bit, comprising a bit body;
- and a cutting element formed as a trihedron with three faces which form free rock destructing blades, so that said cutting bit can be turned to orient alternatively respective one of said rock destructing blades in a cutting direction in the event of dulling or breaking of another one of said rock destructing blades, wherein said faces of said cutting element have different strengths.
A cutting bit, comprising a bit body;
- and a cutting element formed as a trihedron with three faces which form free rock destructing blades, so that said cutting bit can be turned to orient alternatively respective one of said rock destructing blades in a cutting direction in the event of dulling or breaking of another one of said rock destructing blades, wherein at least one of said faces is composed of a material which is different from a material of another face.
A cutting bit, comprising a bit body;
- and a cutting element formed as a trihedron with three faces which form free rock destructing blades, so that said cutting bit can be turned to orient alternatively respective one of said rock destructing blades in a cutting direction in the event of dulling or breaking of another one of said rock destructing blades, at least one of said cutting elements is provided with a reinforcing insert, said reinforcing inset having a side forming said one face and being rounded, a second side being substantially perpendicular to said first side and curved, and a third side which is substantially perpendicular to said first mentioned side and being also curved.
