The Spiral Type Core Bit is designed for efficient and stable core drilling in soft to medium-hard formations. Featuring a helical cutting structure, it ensures smooth penetration, effective cuttings removal, and reliable core recovery. This type of core bit is widely used in geological exploration, mineral investigation, and water well drilling where consistent drilling performance and easy maintenance are required.
Product Overview
This type of core bit is particularly suitable for projects where stable drilling, simple operation, and consistent core recovery are required. Thanks to its optimized geometry and reinforced cutting edges, the bit maintains reliable performance even in complex geological conditions.

Manufacturing Process & Quality Control
Our spiral core bits are produced through a strictly controlled manufacturing process to ensure stable quality and consistent performance:
High-quality alloy steel body for structural strength
Precision machining to form accurate spiral geometry
Tungsten carbide reinforcement for enhanced wear resistance
Heat treatment to improve hardness and impact resistance
Final inspection on dimensions, concentricity, and cutting edge quality
Each bit undergoes quality checks before shipment to ensure reliable performance under real drilling conditions.

Field Application Case
In a geological exploration project in Northwest China, drilling was carried out mainly in limestone and marl formations with partially weathered layers. Conventional core bits suffered from poor cuttings discharge and unstable penetration.
After switching to our Spiral Type Core Bit:
Cuttings were discharged smoothly
Drilling stability improved significantly
Core recovery increased by approximately 25–30%
Bit wear rate was noticeably reduced
The drilling team reported smoother operation and higher overall efficiency.
FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What formations are best suited for spiral core bits?
A: Soft to medium-hard formations such as limestone, shale, marl, and weathered rock.
Q2: Can this bit be used for water well drilling?
A: Yes, it is commonly used in water well and shallow geological drilling applications.
Q3: How does it differ from spiral ribbed core bits?
A: Spiral core bits focus on smooth cutting and simplicity, while spiral ribbed bits provide higher structural strength for harder formations.
Q4: Can you customize sizes and thread types?
A: Yes, customization is available based on core barrel size and project requirements.
Q5: What is the typical service life?
A: Service life depends on formation hardness, but it generally offers longer durability than standard flat-type core bits.
