Series Impregnated
Diamond Core Bits
General Information
A series of numerically-coded diamond
impregnated bits designed to overcome
the difficulties of exploration drilling in
variable rock formations and inhole
conditions.
Using advanced powder technology,
Boart Longyear has developed a series
of high performance matrices that bond
effectively with the diamonds to promote
a range of long life, resilient bits with
superior drilling speeds.
Features
Selection made simple with no
confusing colour-coded classification
system. The higher the numerical
code, the harder the rock it can drill.
Leading edge bit manufacturing
technology uses advanced diamond
/matrix bonding for superior
performance.
Suited to all rock environments from
soft to ultra-hard rock types.

machines.
Series 7
For hard, moderately abrasive and fractured
formations
A tough, fast penetrating bit relatively free-cutting.
Series 8
New Face Glazed O.D. Gauge Loss
For hard, competent formations
For best results, this free-cutting bit requires high
rotational speeds and light bit loads.
Series 9
For hard to very hard, competent and non-abrasive
formations
Long life, free cutting bit, able to drill at high penetration
rates in a range of ground conditions.
Series 10 Convex Face Ideal Excessive Diamond

For ultra-hard, non-abrasive formations
For optimum performance, needs high rotational speeds
and low thrusts. With experience, can be used
effectively in a variety of other non-abrasive formations.
