Bench and production drilling tools include rods, shank adapters, couplings and bits. We provide 7 main thread types: R3212, R32, HL38, T38, T45, T51, T60, ST58 and ST68. These are perfectly compatible with button bits, cross bits, and reaming products.
Drifter Rods: Also known as tunneling steels or tunneling rods. Available in round and hexagon shapes. Hexagon rods are more rigid, heavier, and transfer energy more efficiently while increasing flushing capacity.
Extension Rods (MF/Speed Rods): Produced in hexagonal and round cross sections. Round rods are generally lighter and commonly used in extension drilling applications. Conventional extension steel features duplicate threads on each end.
