It refers specifically to the cutting tool assembly. - The drilling crew replaced the worn-out roller bit before continuing the operation. - For penetrating this granite layer, a roller bit is more effective than a standard blade bit.

The term roller bit is highly specialized. In non-technical contexts, the individual words "roller" and "bit" have vastly different and unrelated meanings (e.g., a cylindrical tool for flattening and a small piece of something, respectively). The combined term has this single, specific technical meaning in drilling.
