The ordimry fish-tail bit 3 provided wiizli eniy twe blades, but ad- (liiienal blades, as 12, maybe provided if desired. In case additional blzieies are provided, tlieyere snails detachable, and-are fitted into vertical greoves sides of die shank 8, saicl blades being provided with ienens 1%, shaped like tenons l1, pz'evmusly (lescribei, and which are fitted into mortises 15, extending radially wvitli reference to the inertise The head 4- is exter- The 13-, in oppesi'te The sleeve 5 fits blades 12 securely in. place. i

In attaching the blades to the drill head,

the te'non ll is brought into alinement with the mortise 9, and moved laterally until it is seated therein; The sleeve 5; is then fitted over the upper end of the drillshank and. screwed down over the enlarged head a, and

' the shank 8, of the blade, thus securing the same in position and locking the tenon in the mortise. In case additional blades, as 12, are employed, before screwing down the sleeve ,5, these blades are seated in the grooves 13, and the tenons 1% are seated in the corresponding mortises 15 of the head 4, and the sleeve. 5 is thcnscrewed down over the shank 8, thus locking said detachable blades 12 securely in position.

In the modified form shown in Fig. 2 the upper portion of the head 4 and the corresponding portions of the tenons 14, as wel as the o )posite )ortion of the sleeve 5 are left blan The i fitting together along the transverse plane indicated at 17, so that in case the tenons locking the blades to the head 4 should break, the head'will be permitted to rotate, in the sleeve 5, but the flange 6 will lock the lead is in two sections bit against detachment-from the stem sothatthere will be no possibility of the bit becoming lost in the bore.

Water down through the shank 2, issuin from the lower end of the head through w ich water flows from the interionofthe drill stem to the cutting points so as to flush the bore and carry away the cuttillgs from the bit. \Vhat I claimis: 1 l

In a rotary drill, a shank, an enlarged head on the lower end thereof, a mortise therein, a shoulder on said enlarged head, a

passageways 16, 16,'are provided flat blade fitting in said' mortise in said head, j
