Diamond drillers understand that some ground is more variable. It may be soft for the first 100 meters and then become harder, or fractured. If the ground is made of a wide range of minerals and several hardness levels have been measured, you need to choose your core bit carefully. The T Xtreme series provides the versatility you need for optimum drilling performance in varying conditions.
