Industry:Mining
A rotary drill similar to the diamond core drill except that the annular groove is cut either by a steel chisel or by a plain hollow rod using chilled shot. When the core is of sufficient length to be withdrawn, some grit is added to the mud flush, which becomes wedged tightly between the core and base of the barrel. When the rods are raised the core is broken off and brought to the surface.
Industry:Mining
A rotary drill, mechanically driven, for drilling horizontal blasting holes in quarries and opencast pits.
Industry:Mining
A rotary drill, pump, and hinged mast mounted as an integral drilling unit on a truck body and used primarily to drill vertical shallow holes in which explosives are placed and detonated to produce shock waves from the rock strata, which then are measured by seismic recording instruments.
