Diamond Drilling Tools

Diamonds can be a miner’s best friend. A breakthrough in technology has brought diamond drilling bits to the market; these bits can outperform the old carbide wet drilling bits by 100 to 300 times. The diamond drilling equipment stays sharp during its longer life using self-sharpening technology. These bits bring an increased rate of penetration and replace percussion drilling, all while keeping maintenance needs and thus maintenance costs to a minimum. As if that’s not enough, diamond drilling tools throw out about 98 percent less dust into the air and have noise levels that are 20 to 40 decibels less than the norm.
