Abstract
A rotary drill bit (10) having a plurality of roller cutters (20) with rows (32A, 32B, 32C, 32D) of cutting inserts (34,36,38,40) mounted within sockets (35,46) on the frusto-conical cutter body (30). The cutting inserts 34,36,38,40) have cutting surfaces formed with a wear-resistant material with certain cutting inserts (36,38) being formed of a wear-resistant material having a hardness higher than the hardness of the wear-resistant material on the remaining inserts (34,40) in each row. The hard cutting inserts (36,38) are positioned in each row in a predetermined pattern intermingled in a generally uniformly spaced pattern with the softer cutting inserts (34,40) and comprising generally between 20% and 50% of the total number of cutting inserts in a particular row.
