Boart Longyear, the global leader in exploration drilling equipment and tooling, today announced the release of its newest diamond bit innovation: the Stingray™ DHM/Full Face Diamond Bit. Purpose-engineered for downhole motor (DHM) and full-face drilling, the Stingray bit combines cutting-edge crown design with durable diamond technology to maximize penetration rates and extend bit life in the most challenging ground conditions.
The Stingray bit is the result of extensive field testing and development, addressing the demand for higher efficiency, longer service life, and greater reliability in abrasive and variable geology. Its advanced design delivers more consistent wear across the bit face, reducing downtime and enabling drillers to reach target depths faster and more safely.
“Stingray represents the next generation of diamond drilling technology,” said Jon Peterson, Product Manager, Diamond Products. “By pairing aggressive cutting structures with Boart Longyear’s proven diamond technology, we’re giving contractors and mine operators a tool that not only improves performance, but also drives real savings in time and cost.”
