    摘要: A drill bit for drilling a hole in an earth formation includes a bit body and a blade extending from the bit body. The blade has a leading section, a top section, and a plurality of transition sections extending between the leading section and the top section. The drill bit further includes a plurality of cutters. Each cutter is positioned in a respective cutter pocket formed in the blade. Each cutter extends beyond the top section of the blade, and each transition section of the blade is between adjacent cutter pockets. The drill bit further includes a plurality of abrasion resistant inserts. Each abrasion resistant insert is positioned in a respective insert pocket formed in the blade. The plurality of abrasion resistant inserts are designed to cut into an earth formation. At least a portion of each abrasion resistant insert is disposed at a respective transition section of the blade.
