Customize Your Desired Diamond Drill Bits for Rock

Diamond Grade and Concentration

We carefully select the diamond grade and concentration to match your specific rock formations. Higher-grade diamonds, which are exceptionally hard and abrasion-resistant, are used for very hard or abrasive rock types. The diamond concentration refers to the density of diamonds embedded in the bit; we adjust this to achieve either aggressive cutting or prolonged bit life depending on your drilling objectives.

Matrix Hardness and Type

The matrix hardness and type of our bits are tailored for optimal performance. We use harder matrices for drilling in softer to medium formations, preventing premature diamond pull-out. For very hard, abrasive rock, we employ softer matrices that wear away more readily, continuously exposing fresh diamonds to maintain cutting efficiency throughout the drilling process.

Crown Design and Profile

Our crown design and profile are customizable to suit diverse drilling conditions. We offer various profiles, including flat, W-profile, and turbo-profile, each optimized for specific rock types. A flat profile provides stability, while a W-profile enhances penetration in softer rock. Our turbo designs are aggressive and perform well in fractured or mixed formations.

Waterways and Flushing

We meticulously design the waterways and flushing systems of our bits. The number, size, and configuration of these waterways are crucial for efficient cuttings removal and effective bit cooling. Adequate flushing prevents “balling” (cuttings accumulation) and overheating, which can significantly reduce drilling speed and bit life. We customize these aspects to ensure optimal chip evacuation and prolonged bit performance.

what is diamond drill bits for rock?

Diamond drill bits for rock are specialized drilling tools designed to penetrate extremely hard and abrasive geological formations. Unlike conventional drill bits, they incorporate industrial-grade diamonds—the hardest known material—into their cutting surfaces. These diamonds are either impregnated within a metal matrix or surface-set, providing exceptional cutting power and wear resistance. 

This allows them to effectively cut through tough materials like granite, basalt, quartzite, and various mineral ores. Diamond drill bits are crucial for applications such as mineral exploration, geological surveying, mining, and construction, where precise and efficient drilling in challenging rock conditions is required. 

They are engineered to maximize penetration rates, extend tool life, and ensure optimal core recovery, making them indispensable for extracting samples or creating boreholes in solid rock.

why use diamond drill bits for rock?

Diamond drill bits are indispensable for drilling through rock due to their exceptional hardness and abrasive resistance, which allow them to perform where conventional drill bits fail. Rocks, particularly hard geological formations like granite, quartz, and various mineral ores, quickly dull and damage standard steel or carbide bits. 

The embedded industrial diamonds on these bits, whether impregnated or surface-set, continuously expose new cutting edges as the bit wears, maintaining superior cutting efficiency. This ensures faster penetration rates, reduces drilling time, and ultimately lowers operational costs by minimizing the need for frequent bit replacements.

Key reasons to use diamond drill bits for rock include:

  • Superior Hardness and Wear Resistance: Diamonds are the hardest natural material, enabling them to cut through extremely tough and abrasive rock formations without rapidly dulling.
  • High Penetration Rates: The aggressive cutting action of diamonds leads to significantly faster drilling speeds compared to other bit types, enhancing productivity.
  • Extended Tool Life: Diamond bits last much longer than conventional bits in hard rock, reducing downtime for bit changes and saving on replacement costs.
  • Precision and Core Recovery: They produce clean, precise holes and are ideal for obtaining intact core samples, which are crucial for geological analysis and mineral exploration.
  • Versatility: Customizable diamond grades, matrix hardness, and crown designs allow for optimal performance across a wide range of rock types and drilling conditions.

What drill bit do I need to drill into stone?

To drill into stone, you’ll generally need a masonry drill bit or, for harder stones like granite, a diamond-tipped drill bit.

Masonry drill bits are specifically designed with a durable carbide tip that can withstand the abrasive nature of stone, brick, and concrete. They are typically used with a hammer drill, which combines a rotating action with a hammering motion to effectively break through the material. 

For extremely hard natural stone, or for precise holes in delicate stone like marble or granite, diamond core bits or diamond-tipped bits are the most effective. These bits use industrial diamonds, the hardest known material, to abrade the stone, often requiring water as a coolant to prevent overheating and prolong the life of the bit and the stone.

What speed diamond drill bits on stone?

When drilling into stone with diamond drill bits, the ideal speed is a crucial factor that depends on several variables, primarily the hardness of the stone and the diameter of the drill bit. Unlike drilling softer materials, diamond drilling relies on abrasion, and excessive speed can generate too much heat, damaging both the bit and the stone.

For harder stones like granite and porcelain, slower speeds are generally recommended to prevent overheating and premature wear of the diamond abrasive. For smaller diamond core bits (e.g., 1/2 inch), speeds can range from 3,000 to 6,000 RPM, but for larger bits (e.g., 2 inches or more), speeds might drop to below 1,000 RPM. Some manufacturers provide specific RPM guidelines for different bit sizes and materials.

Conversely, for softer stones like marble and limestone, slightly higher speeds can be used, but still with caution to avoid chipping or cracking the material. For smaller bits, you might operate in the range of 500-1500 RPM, while larger bits would still require slower speeds. 

The general rule of thumb is: the harder the material and the larger the bit diameter, the slower the RPM. Always use ample water as a coolant to lubricate the bit and flush away debris, regardless of the stone type or speed.

Which drilling method is for rock?

The most suitable drilling method for rock depends heavily on the specific rock type (its hardness, abrasiveness, and fracture properties), the desired hole diameter and depth, and the project’s objective (e.g., mineral exploration, blast holes, water wells, foundation drilling). There isn’t one universal method, but rather a selection of techniques tailored to different rock conditions and applications.

The primary drilling methods for rock include:

Rotary Drilling: This method uses a rotating drill bit to cut through the rock, often with significant downward pressure (thrust) and torque. It’s versatile and widely used in various applications like mineral exploration, water well drilling, and environmental studies.

Rotary Percussion Drilling: This combines the rotational action with a hammering (percussive) force, making it more effective in harder rocks. It’s further categorized into:

  • Top Hammer Drilling: The hammer mechanism is located at the top of the drill string, transmitting impact energy through the rods to the drill bit. This is efficient for shallower holes and smaller diameters, commonly used for blast holes, quarrying, and trenching.
  • Down-The-Hole (DTH) Drilling: The hammer is positioned directly behind the drill bit at the bottom of the hole, delivering high-impact blows directly to the rock. This is highly efficient for drilling deep and large-diameter holes in hard rock formations, offering better straightness and faster penetration rates compared to top hammer in such conditions.

Diamond Core Drilling: This method uses a drill bit impregnated with industrial diamonds, which abrades the rock to create a circular cut and extract a cylindrical core sample. 

It’s highly effective for very hard rocks (like granite and basalt) and is crucial for geological analysis in mineral exploration and geotechnical investigations where intact samples are required. It’s generally more expensive due to the diamond bits and the need for precision.

Percussion Drilling (Cable Tool Drilling): This older method involves repeatedly lifting and dropping a heavy drill bit attached to a cable to break up the rock through impact. It’s suitable for shallow depths and softer rock formations, often used for water well drilling in certain geological settings.

Sonic Drilling: This advanced method uses high-frequency vibrations in addition to rotation to penetrate through various geological formations, including hard rock. It’s known for its ability to provide continuous, undisturbed core samples and is effective in complex ground conditions.

The choice of method also considers factors like drilling fluid (air, water, mud), site accessibility, environmental considerations, and budget. 

For instance, DTH drilling often uses compressed air to remove cuttings, while diamond drilling usually requires water for cooling and lubrication.
