Abstract: A drill bit, drill bit assembly and related methods of manufacture as disclosed involve a head portion having a circumference and a face surface, and a shank portion extending longitudinally from a side of the head portion opposite to the face surface. A central flushing channel extends longitudinally through the shank portion and a distance within the head portion, and a lateral flushing channel extends from the central flushing channel to the circumference of the head portion. A first portion of the lateral flushing channel is inclined, in a flushing fluid flowing direction, towards the face surface with respect to said second portion, and correspondingly, a second portion is inclined, in a flushing fluid flowing direction, towards the shank portion.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for surveying drill holes with a drilling arrangement and borehole survey assembly. The method can include providing a drill tool having at least one drill rod and a drill bit assembly, and providing a borehole survey tool having a sensor) for measuring a borehole. In the method a drill tool having a central flushing channel for conducting flushing fluid to the drill bit assembly is used, and the borehole survey tool is arranged in the central flushing channel so that flushing fluid can flow in the central flushing channel past the borehole survey tool.
