Complete system for wireline core drilling
Each series is designed for a specific role in the wireline core drilling system — from cutting to borehole stabilization.
Hot-Pressed Diamond Wireline Core Bits
Designed for continuous core drilling in geological exploration and mineral exploration. The hot-pressed diamond matrix provides good wear resistance and stable cutting performance.
Different matrix hardness grades can be selected according to rock hardness and abrasiveness.

PDC Wireline Core Bits
PDC wireline core bits use polycrystalline diamond compact cutters and are suitable for formations where efficient shearing action and fast penetration are required.
Commonly used in geological exploration and rock sampling in suitable soft-to-medium and selected medium-hard formations.

Diamond Reaming Shells
Diamond reaming shells are installed behind the core bit. Their main functions are to:
| Maintain the correct borehole diameter | |
| Provide clearance for the core barrel | |
| Help stabilize the drilling string | |
| Reduce borehole deviation | |
| Allow replacement core bits to pass smoothly |
Standard wireline core bit dimensions
Available for hot-pressed diamond and PDC wireline core bits.
| Model | Inside Diameter | Outside Diameter |
|---|---|---|
| BQ | 36.4 mm | 59.6 mm |
| NQ | 47.6 mm | 75.3 mm |
| NQ3 | 45.1 mm | 75.3 mm |
| HQ | 63.5 mm | 95.6 mm |
| HQ3 | 61.1 mm | 95.6 mm |
| PQ | 85 mm | 122 mm |
| PQ3 | 83.1 mm | 122 mm |
| NTW | 56 mm | 75.5 mm |
| HTW | 71 mm | 95.5 mm |

| HQ | 96.1 mm |
| PQ | 122.5 mm |
| NTW | 77 mm |
| HTW | 97 mm |
| 101 | 101.5 mm |
Which core bit should you choose?
Hot-pressed diamond and PDC core bits are designed for different drilling conditions. Final bit selection should be based on rock hardness, abrasiveness, fracture conditions, drilling depth and drilling parameters.

Matrix selection for hot-pressed diamond core bits
The matrix hardness should be selected according to rock hardness and abrasiveness.
Soft Matrix For Harder FormationsRecommended for harder formations where faster diamond exposure is required. | Medium Matrix For General DrillingSuitable for general exploration drilling and mixed formations. | Hard Matrix For Softer or AbrasiveRecommended for softer or more abrasive formations where slower matrix wear is desirable. |
Why use a diamond reaming shell?
Reaming shells are a key part of the wireline core drilling system. They help maintain borehole quality and protect downstream equipment.
Maintain Borehole DiameterKeeps the drilled hole at the required gauge. | Improve Drilling StabilityHelps stabilize the core barrel and drilling assembly. |
Reduce Hole DeviationSupports straighter drilling during deep exploration. | Protect Core Drilling EquipmentMaintaining proper hole clearance helps reduce unnecessary friction around the core barrel. |
