Advances in diamond tool technology coupled with a better understanding of “down the hole” behaviour have lead to the emergence of the durable and economical impregnated diamond bits. Impregnated diamond bits contain synthetic diamonds of consistent high quality “man-made diamonds”.They are distributed evenly throughout the matrix.

These bits are designed to wear away the matrix at the most economical rate for a particular rock formation. They constantly expose new, sharp diamonds to drill at uniformly high penetration rates for the life of the bit. Impregnated bits can be tailored for your particular application with variables such as: diamond mesh size, diamond concentration, matrix hardness and fluid passage design.

1. We recommend that when choosing a bit in an uncertain situation you should select a softer matrix, i.e. higher type number.
2. Initial bit selection may have to be varied depending on operating conditions.
