Abstract: The invention relates to a rock drill comprising an insertion portion, a flute adjoined to the insertion portion, and a head portion adjoined to the flute, wherein the flute is of at least double-spiral configuration and correspondingly has at least two substantially spiral discharge grooves, to which respectively two substantially spiral flute webs forming the lateral groove walls are assigned. It is proposed that a constant spiral pitch is assigned to the first discharge groove, inclusive of the lateral groove walls thereof, along the drill longitudinal axis, and that at least one of the two flute webs assigned to the first discharge groove has or have along the drill longitudinal axis, at least in sections, a web spine width which changes, in particular, alternately.

Abstract: A rock drill bit having a shank fitted with a clamping end and a drilling tip located from the clamping end. The drilling tip has at least three blades and a central zone centered on a drill bit axis. The blades each include on a top side thereof a lip constituted by a leading chipping face and a trailing flank. The lips substantially converge onto each other within a the central zone of the drilling tip, wherein in the central zone, a long lip of the lips runs through the drill bit axis and has a commensurate overshoot segment extending beyond the drill bit axis.
