Tungsten-Carbide Set Core Bits

This type of bit uses seismic grade tungsten-carbide as the cutting media. Tungsten-carbide does not possess the hardness of diamond and as such has a limited range of application as a core drilling cutting media. Tungsten carbide bits are however a very cost effective means of drilling softer unconsolidated formations. There are two types of tungsten-carbide bits produced by Dimatec: the "carbide-chip" and the "saw-tooth" types.
