[origin: EP3751092A1] The present invention relates to a guide adapter (100) for guiding a drill bit during percusion drilling, said guide adapter is intended to be arranged between the drill bit and an elongated drill string extending along an axis A, said drill bit having a first radius (Rf) transverse to axis A. The guide adapter comprises: a sleeve shaped adapter body (101) intended to extend along axis A and comprising a forward end (102) with a first coupling (104) intended for connecting the guide adapter to the drill bit, and a rear end (103) with a second coupling (105) intended for connecting the guide adapter (100) to the drill string; and a plurality of guiding elements (106) extending substantially radially in relation toaxis A from the sleeve shaped adapter body (101), wherein the guiding elements (106) extend along 60% or less of the adapter body length (L) along axis A and are arranged in the rear end (103) of the adapter body (101), said guiding elements (106) in the rear end (103) has an extension in radial direction from axis A substantially equal to said first radius (Rf) and curved, straight or stepwise reduced radial extension towards the forward end along axis A. The invention furthermore relates to a drill arrangement comprising the guide adapter.
