Diamond drillers can fall into a routine of using the same equipment over and over. Why not? If it isn’t broken, don’t fix it. This is especially true if you are used to drilling in the same region where ground conditions may not vary all that much.

In order to be able to get good drilling performance, diamond drillers should have a thorough understanding of their drilling equipment.
