What makes core drilling different from traditional DTH drilling?

Core drilling extracts a cylindrical sample or 'core' of the material being drilled, providing invaluable insights into geological conditions. It uses lighter, more manoeuvrable machinery and creates smaller diameter holes with longer drilling times compared to Down-the-Hole drilling methods.

What are the main applications for core drill bits?

Core drill bits are ideal for geological surveying to analyse rock structure, diamond wire cutting preparation for intersecting holes, and precision drilling in confined spaces where manoeuvrability and accuracy are critical.

Core Drill Bits and Accessories

We specialise in providing a comprehensive range of core drilling bits for quarry applications, alongside essential quarry core drilling accessories, tailored to meet the rigorous demands of the quarrying industry. Our core drilling bits are expertly designed for creating intersecting diamond wire cutting holes, which are smaller in diameter and require longer drilling times compared to traditional Down-the-Hole (DTH) drilling methods.

Core drilling remains a preferred technique in many quarries due to its distinct advantages. Utilising lighter, more manoeuvrable machinery, this method facilitates easier setup and operation within challenging quarry environments. This enhanced flexibility enables precise drilling in confined or difficult-to-access areas, ensuring superior accuracy and efficiency.

Whether you require specialised core drilling bits or comprehensive quarry core drilling accessories, our products provide the reliability and effectiveness your business requires.

Did you know?

Unlike traditional Down-the-Hole (DTH) drilling, core drilling extracts a cylindrical sample—or “core”—of the material being drilled. This core provides invaluable insights into the geological conditions of the quarry, making core drilling one of the most precise methods to assess rock formations before major extraction begins.
Our range of core drilling bits and quarry accessories supports this accurate and efficient drilling process, helping you achieve the desired results in even the most challenging quarry environments.
