Get the sharpest advice

 

In a drill bit grinding machine, the grinding wheels are composed of abrasive compounds. Grinding wheels' life span can vary from less than a day to many years, depending of the release of individual grains, dull growing and that they increase drag pulls out of the bond. The process of manufacturing the grinding wheels is therefore a controlled and precise process and is necessary for good performance.

 

There are many different types of bits, some with inserts and others with buttons – and they come in many different sizes. To further complicate matters, no two rocks are the same. Consequently, bit wear differs. There’s only one good piece of advice we can give you – don’t make a decision before talking to us. And remember, thanks to Epiroc´s extensive service network, a good regrind is only a phone call away.

 

We can offer grinding machines for fixed installations and field operations.
