Rock cutting is developing area in mining and tunnelling sectors. In order to open an
excavation inside or surface of the rock masses, they should be dig up to obtain required engineered
volume. Beside the conventional blasting methods result in total breakage of the selected parts of rock
masses, rock cutting machineries are used in some engineering projects which they have cutting bits to
trim the rock masses into small chips. Drag bits, as a type, is one of the bit kinds which researchers have
analysed for its design parameters for different rock masses. When rock bit cutting performances are
under consideration, laboratory cutting tests are performed and rocks are cut with different bit profiles
to evaluate its design parameters. In these researches cutting traces have mostly been photographed for
test file data. It was realised here in this research and analyzed some of these images for their colour
properties. Different coloured sectors were determined along the selected cutting trace images which
were compared also with the cutting force records of the related cutting tests. The colour distribution
and colour difference areas of the trace images were then analysed with the cutting actions and rock
mass features. The resultant enhanced coloured images and cutting forces fluctuation data obtained
during cutting tests of drag bits showed that colour analysed can also be the indicators of cutting
performance if they are carefully appraised.
