RockStar Core Bits

RockStar core bits are ideal for shallow holes and underground drilling where conditions are variable, and provide excellent penetration rates.

 

Diamond drillers can adjust their drilling parameters to increase penetration rate without sacrificing bit life. With a sufficiently powerful drill rig, drillers can push on the bit to get even higher penetration rates.

 

For drilling operations where a less powerful drill rigs are being used, this line of core bits really shines. RockStar core bits stay sharp even with lower weight on bit (WOB), providing excellent performance and extended bit life.

 

This line includes two self-sharpening matrices that when used with the recommended waterway configurations (deep lateral discharge or lateral discharge), will provide good resistance against rock abrasiveness and help improve tool life.

 

RockStar 7

An ideal choice for ground between 5.5 and 6.5 on Mohs scale for rock hardness. With an optimized matrix recipe to provide a robust high rate of penetration even facing Quartz veins.

 

RockStar 9

The RockStar 9 is an excellent choice for ground between 5.5 and 7 on Mohs scale for rock hardness.

 

RockStar 9F

Designed for ground between 6 and 7.25 on Mohs scale for rock hardness. With an enhanced free cutting capability and availability in every configuration including Vulcan options to ensure maximized productivity and performance.

 

RockStar 10

The RockStar 10 is ideal for ground between 6 and 7.5 on Mohs scale for rock hardness. It is a good choice for smaller diameters, such as BTW and LTK48, as well as NWL2.

We are happy to announce that as of August 2, 2021, all Canadian Fordia offices will be making drill rigs available to their customers. In an earlier blog this year, we announced that drill rigs would be available for sale in the USA and that proved to be successful, so Canada will now join the USA in adding drill rigs to their portfolio of drilling equipment for the mineral exploration industry.

The mineral exploration industry has seen a lot of change in the last few years. One of the most common challenges is finding employees. Between the cyclic nature of the industry and the recent pandemic, many experienced drillers have left and replacing them has been difficult for many companies.

At the beginning of the year, we decided to update our popular eGuides so our customers would have the latest and greatest information. We started with our most popular guide on choosing the right core bit and are now in the process of taking each guide and updating its information to represent the many changes that have occurred over the last few years.

Customer service is our priority.
