Hard Rock Drilling: Smart Cost Control
Scientific cost control strategies are key for hard rock drilling bits.
Precise formation surveys determine rock hardness. Avoid over-specifying bits unnecessarily.
Track each bit’s footage and wear in logs. Analyze per-foot costs to pick best-value models.
Tips for hard rock bit cost control:
- Re-sharpen slightly worn diamond bits. 40% cost of new, reusable 2-3 times.
- Sign maintenance deals with suppliers. Get free testing and repairs on bulk purchases.
- Optimize drilling parameters. Stable pressure in granite reduces avoidable wear.
Comprehensive controls cut hard rock bit costs by over 25% effectively.
