Core Bit News: Drilling under Arctic Ice Cap for Oil and Natural Gas
On 4:38 pm / By adrix merkado
Core Bit Drilling Awareness – Drilling for oil in the arctic has been a most talk about topic recently, with giant oil companies trying to loosen the restrictions in their exploration for oil and natural gas drilling, and environmentalists opposed to this step because of the risks involved. There are many problems involved with drilling under the Antarctic ice cap, and even Alaskan drilling for oil, because of the large possible of damage to the environment and the wildlife in these areas. Oil companies say there are no risks involved, but as we have seen time and time again, it is not possible to drill for oil with no risks involved.
Scientific studies suggest that roughly twenty percent of the undiscovered oil in the world lies underneath the arctic ice cap, and around thirty three percent of the natural gas that has not been discovered is located here as well. There are many concerns when it comes to drilling for oil in the arctic and Alaska. Marine life in the area can be severely affected by the testing methods and procedures as well as the actual drilling methods and processes. Seismic waves are released into the earth, and when these waves return they carry clues about the topography, and any possible hidden reserves of oil or natural gas.
Using seismic waves has been proven to be disruptive and harmful to whales, and result in mass beaching when the whales become disturbed. When ExxonMobil used seismic waves to explore close to Madagascar, over one hundred whales were beached, and ExxonMobil suspended the exploration because of this. Even with seismic waves, geologists can never be certain that there is fossil fuel under the earth until the drilling confirms it. Quite often, seismic tests harm animals and show promise concerning a reserve, but end up being a dead end.

Why not use a Dry Masonry Core Bits in Drilling?
On 11:29 pm / By adrix merkado
A perfect circle is never created by chance or by luck, and this holds true most especially in the world of construction. While in the past, spear-point bits worked wonders in creating holes, these old-fashioned tools can no longer penetrate through new types of materials. Enter diamond core bits, a diamond blade tool used for drilling concrete, blocks, bricks, tiles, granite, marble, porcelain, stone, and other hard aggregate materials. A perfect circle or a perfect core can be seamlessly created through top-grade diamond core bits.
For wet / dry cutting. 9" tube length with Laser-Welded individual segments to hold up under extreme heat and cutting pressure. Barrel vents increase air flow to dissipate heat and cool the core bit. Specially formulated professional quality segments provide fast cutting and long life. For general purpose dry drilling on a variety of soft brick and concrete block. NOT RECOMMENDED for Concrete and Reinforced Concrete. -

What is the Ideal Diamond Core Bit
Core bits are designed with a high diamond concentration for superior cutting performance, enhanced productivity, and longevity. Because of its hollow center, core bits can easily bore a circle in any aggregate material to create a hole. The result is a hole the size of the drill and a smaller “core” coming from the center. The core holds the material in place, allowing the diamond core bit to cut a clean hole all throughout the material.On 11:15 pm / By adrix merkado

Core Bit Drilling Lubrication Tips and Techniques 101
There are several types of industrial water-feed equipment for professional used or recommended industrial specialized jobs. Though it may be easy as it seems, drilling using a diamond core bits (see core bit) with the knowledge of proper lubrication and techniques must be primary on professionals list.On 3:57 pm / By adrix merkado
By definition, Lubrication is the process, or technique employed to reduce wear of one or both surfaces in close proximity, and moving relative to each another, by interposing a substance called lubricant between the surfaces to carry or to help carry the load (pressure generated) between the opposing surfaces. On the other hand, all lubrication methods are not equal.
The main purpose why we are talking is that good knowledge and proper handling of lubrication may extends the core bit drill life accordingly as well as smooth results in any drilling or cutting projects.
What are the different types of lubrication methods?
1 – Clay Dam Lubrication Method (Rating: 8)
This method will provide the core bit drill of approximately 4 times that of using squirt bottle. This lubrication technique is to build a "dam" around the drill hole using a small amount of modeling clay or a similar material. This method is very effective, especially if the water extends above the side tip lubrication hole to allow water to flow into the bit providing good interior lubrication. "Pumping" the drill will also increase the lubrication at the tip. The clay can be used many times if it is stored in a plastic sandwich style zip-lock bag to keep it from drying out.
2 – Traditional Squirt Bottle (Rating: 2)
The most basic method is to use a small hose that runs water onto the surface near the hole and down into the bore hole. To provide lubrication on a horizontal surface, one trick is to place a plastic jug or bottle with a small hole near the bottom of it, next to the drill hole. The water leaks out of the bottle and provides continuous lubrication as you drill. To allow lubrication to reach the drill tip, it is important to use a "pumping" technique described below. Without the pumping technique, the water rarely reaches the very tip of the drill bit.

Importance of drilling pressure in using core bit drill?
As the title of this post suggest, drilling pressure is very important drilling concretes since:On 8:13 pm / By adrix merkado
- 1 – It will help your drilling project run smoothly.
- 2 – It will prolong the life of your core bit and the drilling machines.
- 3 – It will give you best results of drilling and may avoid concrete or masonry breakage if unlikely pressure may occur.
So what’s the exact pressure to be applied in drilling and what are the tips?
So here’s my tips, when using normal drill bits on soft materials such as wood, increasing the pressure causes the bit to drill faster and has little affect upon friction or heat build-up on the bit. When drilling in harder materials such as hardwoods, it is more important to reduce the pressure and let the bit "drill at its own speed".
Otherwise, friction will quickly burn up the bit. When using diamond drill bits, the affect is similar to hardwood drilling, but it is magnified many times due to the extreme hardness and abrasiveness of the material being drilled.
When using diamond drills on glass, ceramic or porcelain tile, limestone, marble and granite, etc, it is very important to have only light to medium pressure on the drill and to let the bit "drill at its own speed". Increasing pressure will not speed up the cutting noticeably, but it will increase the friction considerably and quickly cause the bit to overheat. This not only burns up the bit, but it also heats up the surrounding surface and can cause heat fractures or breakage to occur. -

How to safely remove the drill bit from a concrete or masonry hole
On 6:00 pm / By adrix merkadoWhen drilling holes in concretes, you may need masonry core bits. The drilling machines you will use depend on the type of concrete core bits. You may find some drill bits like a rounded that are used for hammering type drills. The standard drilling machines may use a regular tip concrete core bits.(You may see Why should you choose Diamond Core Bits in drilling?) Sometimes, Failure that may result breakage in the bit is because of not continuing or fail to exit the drill bit to the concrete materials. Here are my tips on how to safely remove the drill bit when unexpected case happen like drill bit breakage or something.
You may need the following: Canned air, Vise grips and Needle-nose pliers.
- 1 - Blow air straight into the hole with the canned air. This will loosen and remove some of the concrete dust around the drill core bit.
- 2 - Lock the jaws of a pair of vise grips around the end of the bit, if the bit broke off above the surface. Clutch the bit as close to the work surface as possible. Drag out the drill core bit while turning the bit counterclockwise with the vise grips. Blow air into the hole as necessary if the bit jams while removing it from the concrete.(see A must have Drilling Guide Kit)
- 3 - Insert the jaw tips of a pair of needle-nose pliers into the hole, if the bit broke below the work surface. Try to grasp the end of the bit with the needle-nose pliers. If the needle-nose pliers cannot reach the bit, make the hole slightly larger with another drill bit. Drill just until you reach the broken bit.
- 4 - Blow the hole out with the canned air. Grip the end of the drill bit with the needle-nose pliers. Pull and wind counterclockwise with the pliers to remove the bit from the hole.

Core Bit Tips: How to Drill Faucet Holes
On 7:17 pm / By adrix merkado
Here’s a brief summary on how to drill on faucet holes in granite countertop or vanity using a diamond core bit drill (core bits, diamond blade and saw blades)
- First, marked sink centers. It is important to measure it twice to double check proper alignment.
- When measure, be sure that there are rooms allowed for splashes. The center of the marked (the ring you see in the images) area represents the size of the core bit.
- The top or marked area can now be drilled since you already get the proper measurement.
- Start your drilling with a shallow ring. Once you have get the track ring, Try starting gentle pressure and let the core bit or the grinder do the job.
- For wet drilling, always used water since water can help core bits from being damaged.
- Occasionally removed the core bit from the hole – this gives core bit a chance to cool down.
- It is important to take time when drilling.
That’s it for today. Have a great drilling day folks! For more information about diamond core bit, visit (Premium Core Bits, Diamond Blade and Saw Blades available) -

Core Bit: How to use Core Bit Drills
Centuries ago, drilling is only a core for survival to get water supplies, now drilling is one of the main actions in building great infrastructure whether its high rise or deep excavation projects. Modern drilling done so easily since core bit drills were invented and studied to be more efficient when in used.On 9:09 pm / By adrix merkado
The Core Bit Drill
There are certain techniques when using diamond core bit drill which also affects the core bit drill performance. Guidelines and safety precautions are being followed to ensure that the drilling project is safe and effective as well as hassle free and may help lengthen the life span of core bit drill. Always remember to wear safety gadgets for precautions such as safety glasses, proper footwear, safety suit, earplug as well as helmet for protection. In some cases, respiratory equipment may also need.
Techniques in using core bit drills
1. Always secure the core bit drill to the surface of the area to work with. Make sure that there is no movement when the drilling started and let the core bit drill do the work.
2. Be sure to prepare Water. Water acts as a lubricant and a flusher to ensure cutting residue
3. Always apply proper amount of force to the core bit drill when drilling. Don’t force the core bit drill and the entire circumference of the core bit should penetrate the drilling surface before additional pressure is applied to the core bit drill handle.
4. Avoid stopping of the water flow or even the rotation of the core bit if it is still in the hole.
5. When the drilling rate or process is decreasing, check the core bit. Slow penetration rate of the core bit means it needs to be check and recognition.

Core bit drill: Safe Handling
Usually core drill bit requires water as a lubricant in drilling so make sure that the drilling area and the core bit drill wirings or electrical tools is always form the wet drilling area or at least apply any precautions. Make sure that the three-pronged plug on the power cord of the motor or the extension cord must be plugged into a grounded electrical outlet of the appropriate voltage.
Core drill bit must be fastened or tied correctly to the drilling area (Wall, ground or floor or other concretes) using anchors, belts or screws. Make sure to provide safety gadgets to personnel involved in the drilling process.
