A rotary boring bit consisting of two to four-cone-shaped, toothed rollers which are turned by the rotation of the drill rods. They are used in hard rock in oil well boring and other deep holes down to 15,000 feet and more. Although their penetration speed is somewhat slow, roller bits last longer which is a very important factor in deep drilling. 2, record 1, English, - roller%20bit
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
In rolling cutter bits, the cone type bits currently manufactured have three cutters or two cutters. For general overall use the bit with three cones is a better balanced bit. 6, record 1, English, - roller%20bit
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Roller-cone bits are also called rock bits. The surface of each cone is made up of rows of steel or tungsten carbide teeth or rows of tungsten carbide inserts. Tungsten carbide insert bits are usually used to drill extremely hard formations. 5, record 1, English, - roller%20bit

Mucho más perfectas y eficaces son las sondas de barrena rotativas, también conocidas en los medios petrolíferos con el nombre de rotarys y con las cuales se han perforado taladros de más de 6 500 m. Su funcionamiento es como sigue : La roca es perforada por los dientes de los rodillos montados en la corona del trépano fijado en el extremo del varillaje, consistente éste en una sucesión de tubos roscados al cual se van agregando uno a uno nuevos tramos desde la superficie, a medida que adelanta la perforación. 1, record 2, Spanish, - sonda%20de%20barrena%20rotativa

La técnica de perforación con la sonda rotary ha alcanzado extraordinaria perfección, incluso en las circunstancias tan difíciles del sondeo submarino, el cual se practica ahora en fondos situados hasta a millares de metros de profundidad. La técnica aplicada se funda en el anclaje de una pesada plataforma que sirve de cabezal al pozo y de guía al varillaje del trépano. 1, record 2, Spanish, - sonda%20de%20barrena%20rotativa
