Diamond Core Bits In the Construction Industry

When most people think or hear of diamonds, the picture that almost without exception comes to their head is “clear” diamonds of the type that people wear on jewelry. What they don't know or realize is that the majority of diamonds that are mined from the earth are industrial grade. Diamonds that aren't clear but are still useful due to their extreme hardness.

Industrial Diamonds are Black Non-Jewelry Grade Diamonds

Another newer source for industrial grade diamonds is synthetic or man made diamonds. These are essentially non-jewelry grade diamonds that are made by technology that recreates the extremely high pressure and temperatures that natural diamonds are created under. Heres one more fact. Did you know that all diamonds started out as a chunk of charcoal? Diamond are in fact composed of 100% pure carbon. The same molecule that charcoal is composed of.

Diamonds are the Hardest Substance Known Man...and Women

The one aspect of diamonds that they are used for for in tools, including diamond core bits is that they are hard. In fact diamonds are the hardest material known to man (and women), so they can cut or scratch even the hardest metal allows or virtually anything else for that matter. So what then do they use to grind the facets into polished diamond jewelry? You guessed it! Other smaller diamonds.

Diamond Tools Aren't For Cutting Metal

Diamond core bits are made and function the same way as most other types of industrial diamond cutters and grinders. That is that the actual diamonds themselves are embedded in metal on the outside surface of the tool. This is why diamond cutting or drilling tools should never be used to cut metal. Its not that the diamonds aren't hard enough. Its just that the metal will rip them off the surface of the tool.

Why Diamond Core Bits When There are Cheaper Alternatives?

So if there are so many new types of  high-tech, hardened steel alloy drills and cutters that are cheaper than diamond tools, why would someone choose something like diamond core bits over these less expensive alternatives? After all, there is always the bottom line that has to be taken onto consideration on any construction site.

Just a Better Tool To Use For a Number Of Reasons

To start with, diamond core bits tend to do faster more precision work. Also, no matter how hard the substrate is that has to be drilled through, they can handle it. No problem. Also diamond drilling tools are far more smooth functioning compared to “jarring” roto-hammer type drills that use steel bits. This means less operator fatigue, less dust and noise and less risk to the operator of repetitive movement injuries.

Diamond Cutting and Drilling Tools Never Go Dull

Another benefit of diamond core bits and any other diamond cutting or drilling tool for that matter is that they never go dull. This doesn't mean that they last forever. It just means that as long as there are diamonds still embedded in the surface, the tool will cut or drill just as well on the last day of its working life as it did on its first day when it came fresh out of the box.

What do you think of RATE - radioisotopes and the age of the earth project?

There has been a careful study of the issue of radio isotopes and the implications for the age of the earth concerning a variety of issues. What do people think? Have they heard about the RATE project?

C14 which has a half life of approximately 5600 years interestingly is roughly constant in coal samples across the geological column. Cambiran diamonds which should have no C14 if they are truly 'Cambrian aged' have roughly the same significant amount as in the coal

Addtionally as Uranium decays it gives off 8 helium nuclie and the Helium may be observed in Xircons and roughly 40% of the original helium based on the daughter decay is still there where the remaining amount has not travels far into the surrounding biotite material based on core samples tries. The helium studies would indicate a world less htan 10 thousand years old, the uranium to lead leads in another direction and makes the world look older almost as if the radiation decay rated altered at some point

Another verification of a well konwn fact.
