Tapered rods are specialized tools used for rock drilling, blasting holes, and other drilling tasks in quarries, coal mines, traffic construction, and infrastructure projects. Designed to work seamlessly with taper drill bits, these rods are available in various lengths to suit different application requirements.
Our taper drill rods are manufactured in a variety of taper angles. Generally, light-duty rock drills utilize a 7° taper or smaller angles, while heavy-duty rock drills predominantly require 11° or 12° taper angles. It is essential for the taper drill rods and taper drill bits to share the same degree for optimal performance and safety.
Technical Note: For Shank hex. 22 mm (7/8") x 108 mm (4 1/4"), the rod hex is 22 mm with a flushing hole diameter of 6.7 mm.
