Top hammer bits consist of a steel body with cemented carbide buttons or inserts on the face of the bit. These buttons are arranged in a pattern that maximizes the drilling efficiency and reduces wear on the bit. The carbide buttons are made from a tough and wear-resistant material, which allows the bit to maintain its cutting performance for longer.

One advantage of top hammer bits is their versatility, as they can be used for a wide range of drilling applications and are suitable for both surface and underground drilling. They also offer high drilling speed and efficiency, allowing operators to complete drilling projects more quickly.
