Abstract
A cutting member for rotary drill bits consists of a carrier member with a supporting face which consists of two component supporting faces adjoining one another in wedge-shape forming a front edge, and applied to each of the two component supporting faces is a supporting member together with a cutting layer which occupies the whole area. The cutting member which is wedge-shaped in its contours develops high drilling performances particularly in comparatively soft ground formations and is considerably cheaper than known wedge-shaped cutting members and renders possible an extensive variability in the formation of the supporting members together with the cutting layers and their arrangement on the carrier member.
