Core drilling bits
The bit is the most complicated of the diamond tools because so many factors influence its performance and life. It is important to gather as much data as possible in regards to the formation to be drilled.
Types of bits
TC (Tungsten carbide)
very soft ground
conditions
PCD/TSD (Poly-crystalline diamond/thermally stable polycrystalline diamond)
soft to medium hard; course grained; abrasive; or fractured ground conditions
Surface set
soft to medium hard; course to fine grained; abrasive to non abrasive; or fractured to competent ground conditions
Impregnated
soft to very hard; course to fine grained; abrasive to non abrasive; or fractured to competent ground conditions
