Push and Pull Diamond Core Bits

The push and pull diamond impregnated bit is a specialized tool that is commonly used in underground drilling for a variety of reasons, such as service holes for air, water, paste fill or sand fill.

It is a much larger, bi-directional bit with a diamond matrix. The push and pull bit is used to expand the diameter of a bore hole once a diamond drill has accurately drilled a pilot hole in a common standard size such as NWL.

Saves time – it is much easier and quicker to expand an existing smaller hole than to drill a large diameter hole.
Can be used with smaller underground drill rigs.
Causes less vibration resulting in less wear and tear on equipment.

Improving Penetrations Rates

Mineral Exploration

Improving your rate of penetration will have a direct impact on profitability as it will increase productivity and lead to recuperating more core. How to achieve better penetration is a challenge for many drillers but there are several methods that will help.

Ground Abrasiveness

Mineral Exploration

Abrasiveness is a ground condition that can cause headaches among many drillers. It can be difficult to drill through when present in any hardness of ground. Abrasive ground and rock can wear down drill bits quickly and in the case of hard abrasive ground, iron ore poses a particular problem and is often referred to as a bit cemetery.

Extending Bit Life

Mineral Exploration

Getting the longest life possible for your core matrix is a key consideration if you want to run a productive and profitable drilling operation. Changing a drill bit takes time especially the farther down the hole it is, and the time spent replacing a bit is not productive.
