What is a diamond drill bit used for?
A diamond drill bit is primarily used for drilling through hard materials such as rock, concrete, and other geological formations. These bits are essential in geology and mining for extracting core samples while maintaining the integrity of the rock structure. Our core drill bits offer superior durability and precision, making them ideal for tackling the hardest and most consolidated geological formations.
How to use a diamond drill bit?
To use a diamond drill bit, ensure you have the appropriate equipment for the material you are drilling. It’s crucial to maintain proper fluid circulation to cool the bit, especially at high speeds, reducing friction and wear. Apply gradual pressure, avoiding excessive force, which could damage the bit or material. Operate the drill bit at the recommended RPMs for optimal performance and longevity.
What are the key features of your diamond drill bits?
Our diamond core drill bits feature exceptional durability, precision, and adaptability to various geological formations. We offer several models:
- Segmented Diamond Drill Bits: Designed for hard and well-consolidated formations.
- Head Crown (Impregnated) Diamond Drill Bits: Ideal for hard and consolidated formations, offering good fluid circulation and precision.
- Thin Wall (Impregnated) Diamond Drill Bits: Suitable for delicate, less consolidated formations, with a thinner design for higher RPMs and precision.
- Micro Plug Diamond Drill Bits: Optimized for high-quality micro-core sampling with minimal disruption, perfect for micro-CT imaging and similar applications.
In addition to our standard range, we offer custom diameters and lengths upon request.
How to clean diamond drill bits?
After each use, diamond drill bits should be cleaned with water to remove any residue or debris. For more thorough cleaning, use a soft brush to dislodge particles stuck between the segments. It’s important to dry the bits completely after cleaning to prevent rust or corrosion. Storing your drill bits in a dry, controlled environment will help maintain their performance and extend their lifespan.
How much does a diamond drill bit cost?
The cost of a diamond drill bit can vary depending on the model, size, and customizations. Typically, the original price of our core drill bits may differ from the current price due to various factors such as diameter, wall thickness, and intended geological use. For the most accurate pricing, please refer to our product listings or contact us for a custom quote based on your specific requirements.
How long does a diamond drill bit last?
The lifespan of a diamond drill bit depends on several factors, including the material being drilled, drilling techniques, and maintenance. Generally, our core drill bits are designed to endure multiple operations on hard materials, but improper use or excessive force can reduce their lifespan. Regular cleaning and proper fluid circulation during use will help extend the drill bit’s life.
How are diamond drill bits made?
Diamond drill bits are made by embedding synthetic diamonds into a metal matrix or segments. The diamonds are welded or impregnated into the bit’s surface, providing the extreme hardness required for drilling through tough geological formations. Our core drill bits are designed with precision to ensure exceptional durability and performance, tailored for a wide range of applications.
