Bit Hardness Varies | Choose the Right One for the Mountain
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. This is a bit for a down-the-hole hammer. It’s a bit with a drilling diameter of about 110 mm, and I’ve used it to drill about 60 holes since it was brand new. And this is what it looks like now, lol. Here’s a side view. The main body is already worn down. I wonder if the cutting edges are worn out…

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. We’re drilling using drill bits, right? Here’s what a brand-new one looks like. It’s a standard ring bit. We want to use this for as long as possible, but we also want to drill as quickly as possible. So we tend to apply quite a bit of pressure while drilling…

The Anobit Everyone’s Been Waiting For Is Finally Here | New Product
Hello, everyone. It’s Enta. It’s gotten cold all of a sudden, and it’s making me feel a little down. I hate the cold! Anyway, I was replacing all the hydraulic hoses on the drilling machine at work.

Bit Wear in Suspended Drilling Rigs | Consumables Management
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, I finished up at my current job site, so I moved the equipment to the next one. This site involved inserting rebar into 3.7-meter-deep holes, which made digging extremely difficult—the hole walls wouldn’t stay upright on their own. They’d collapse immediately, and the slurry wouldn’t come out. So, my personal best was 18 holes in a single day…
