Tapered drill equipment also provides a hexagonal chuck section to provide leverage for the rotation chuck bushing, which usually also has a forged collar to maintain the proper shank striking face position in the rock drill, and match a tapered bit at the socket end. Holes are typically drilled in 0.6 m increments to accommodate the air-leg feed length.

Different rock formations and rock drills require different taper angles. For this, we can provide taper drill rods with three grades, and lengths available from 600mm (2’) to 11,200mm (36’8”), (measured from the collar to the tapered end).
