The soil stabilization steel soil cross bit puts four hardened steel cutting edges in a cross pattern for fast, clean holes in soft to medium soils. Threaded in R32, R38 and X32 with face diameters from 2 in. to 4 in., it opens straight, evenly sized injection holes for cement, lime and chemical grout in ground improvement, geotechnical and foundation work.
The cross layout spreads penetration forces across all four edges, so no single edge wears out early, and the shearing cut clears material without binding in loose ground. Thread the bit onto matching soil stabilization anchor rods to build the injection string; when the ground turns rocky or abrasive, the carbide-tipped soil cross bit holds its edge longer. Grout delivery through the rotating string runs through a complete grout swivel, and Crowder Supply carries the rest of the string in our drill steel & bits range.
