What I claim is: v 1. A drill bit comprisinga head, a series of radial blades on the lower end ofthe head terminating at their lower ends in cutting edges, each blade having a vertical slot, said slots being arranged progressively out at different distances from the axis of the head, said head having channels for flushing fluid 1 which terminate opposite said slots.

1O 2. A drill comprisinga shell-like head hav ing an internally threaded box at its upper c end, a series of radial cutting blades integral with the sides and lower end of head which extend out laterally beyond the head and are 5 extended beneath the head, "said blades each having a vertical slot in its lower end, said slots being arranged progressively outward at-dilferent distances from the axis of the head, said head having channels leading downwardly from said box through the lower end of the head and terminating in front of said respective blade slots. V a 3. A drill comprising a shell-like head having an'internally threaded box at its upper 26 end, a series of radial cutting blades on the head which extend out laterally beyond the head and are extended beneath the head, one blade of said series being wider than the V other blades, and said other blades being prov 30 gressively narrowed, said blades each having a vertical slotin its lower end, said head hav- 1 ing channels leading downwardly from said box through the lower end, of the head and terminating in front of said respective blade 7 slots and said head also having a channel of the head from said box andterminating ec centrically with respect to the vertical axis of V the head and being located between the inner edges of the blades. In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification.
