Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1191000A2] A rotary drill bit includes cutters arranged in a series of concentric rings, the cutters of one of the rings having a different wear resistance to the cutters of another of the rings with the result that the stability of the drill bit improves with wear. Although the wear resistance is different, the cutters have substantially the same impact toughness.
