principles of rock drilling

Rotating a motorized drill, with its sharp steel drill bit, is how a hole is made in the earth’s surface – a process known as drilling. The bit has an edge that works to break through the hardened ground, leaving a newly-made hole.

Commands of Rock Drilling

The bit used to drill into rock needs to be constructed of a substance that is harder than the rock itself.

To create the necessary levels of heat and friction for cutting through rock, the bit must be spun at a fast rate.

To minimize requisite friction and warmth, the bit must be appropriately hydrated with water.

The bit should be cranked in a gradual tempo at the outset, before escalating to a faster cadence as the hole indelibly takes shape.

To maximize success, the hole has to be carefully carved in a straight direction; if not, the drill bit could become lodged.

The required depth of the drilled hole must exceed the length of the drill.

At the outset, while initiating the drilling process, one must take things slowly and gradually increase their speed as they progress further into the hole.

To ensure a successful and smooth drilling experience, the bit must rotate consistently while boring into the material. A lapse in this steady motion may cause the drill bit to become lodged.

In order to counter the danger of a stuck drill bit, the hole must be bored with continuous, even force.

To prevent the drill bit from becoming wedged, it’s essential to use a sawing technique of drilling – taking turns moving in a forward and then backward motion.
