Drafted tool bit and blade assembly

Abstract:

A tool bit comprises a shank portion defining a longitudinal axis, and a working portion extending downwardly axially from the shank portion. The working portion includes a rear region, a front working region, a first side region and a second side region, and the first side region and the second side region define an angle of extension measured in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, forming a wider front working region than the rear region in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis.
