The Black Diamond Drilling Raise Bore Cutters are purpose-built for raise boring in hard rock formations. They deliver an optimized drilling profile with 25mm insert spacing between rows, ensuring a balanced and efficient cutting structure.
Engineered for demanding conditions, these roller cutters excel in angled raises, abrasive ground, and mixed face formations. Their double gage row and double nose row configuration provide superior protection in challenging environments, while strategically placed inserts on gage bevel areas minimize erosion in highly abrasive rock.
