DATC DIAMOND DRILL BITS : OUR EXPERTISE SERVING YOUR SITE PRODUCTIVITY !
No matter how hard or abrasive the terrain may be, DATC can always come up with the right diamond bit to provide you with the best cost-yield per metre drilled on the market.
OUR DIAMOND DRILL BITS
ELITE IMPREGNATED DIAMOND MINING BITS
The exceptional quality of our Elite mining bits make them unique on the market. They have the advantage of being self-sharpening, offer high penetration speeds and increased durability, and will give you the site yields that you deserve to achieve. Choosing an Elite bit means choosing safety, reliability and productivity.
TORNADO & ELITE DIAMOND IMPREGANTED GEOTECHNICAL BITS
DATC can also provide a range of diamond-set bits that are impregnated for the geotechnical field. For boring in soft or hard terrain, with or without the risk of polishing, DATC has developed three Tornado core bits and three Elite core bits, the better to meet the cost-quality needs of geotechnical sites.
WEAR RATES
Understanding and interpreting the wear rate of a diamond coring bit is crucial to your productivity. Examine the main types of wear rate encountered on-site and the corrective measures to be applied in order to gain the maximum yield from our products. Our priority is to help you in your progress towards higher yields.
SURFACE-SET DIAMOND CORE BITS
Surface-set core bits are used for boring in soft to medium-hard terrain. Choosing high-quality diamond-bearing stones, our “Processed Drill Premium” mechanically polishes the diamonds to ensure that your boring will have the highest shock-resistance and increased productivity. To ensure best quality across the range , our surface-set core bits are available in all profiles and grain-size distributions.
MAXSET CORE BITS
MAXSET TSD core bits are designed for terrains with sedimentary rock or arid regions where water supply is a problem. Thanks to the use of air-flush boring, which works well for coring and sounding of sedimentary rock, they ensure a rate of productivity that is three times that of traditional mud-flush boring. They are self-sharpening and heat-resistant and provide excellent interlaminar resistance.
MAXPAX PDC CORE BITS
MAXPAX diamond bits take their inspiration from the oil industry and are fitted with 8- to 19-mm Polycrystalline diamond chips strategically placed in order to regenerate the cutting surface, reduce the weight of the tool and increase boring speed. You will have the further benefit of increased resistance to abrasion, great strength and high penetration speed in soft or sedimentary terrains.
TUNGSTEN CARBIDE CORE BITS
Bits with tungsten carbide inserts are generally used for coring softer formations, covered terrain and cleaning soundings. DATC offers hard metal crowns in three forms : PT octagonal prisms, TT longitudinal conical prisms and CCD with chips of ground tungsten carbide, to ensure the clarity of your coring and to suit the conditions under which you are drilling.
REAMING SHELLS
Because safety on your sites is of fundamental importance, our team at DATC has worked at perfecting reaming shells that fulfil two purposes: reducing the vibrations that are the cause of core-drills being destroyed or boring material suffering from premature wear, and reaming the borehole so as to maintain it at a constant diameter. Our reaming shells ensure the stability of the diamond bits and core barrel to produce a quality core-drill.
NON-CORING DRILL BITS
If destructive boring or redirection of the bore is required, you should choose DATC drill bits. DATC drill bits are available in various types of crown : Impregnated, Surface Set, Maxset, Maxpax PDC or Tungsten Carbide, to suit every type of rock when changing from core drilling to destructive boring.
CASING SHOES
For terrains with a high risk of landslip, DATC has developed casing shoes. These tools, when fitted to a casing, make it possible to contain the earth in order to ensure quality core drilling for the borers.
TOOLS MADE TO MEASURE
Flexibility is an important value at DATC. In order to meet all your requirements, our team is committed to providing you with an appropriate, personalised solution that will give you the tool that your site needs.

DATC, A SPECIALIST COMPAGNY FOR 40 YEARS
1974
IMBM is founded in Moudon, Switzerland, specialising in the manufacture of tools for use in oil drilling and in the manufacture of diamond-bit crowns for core drilling in mining and geotechnical work. The tools that it produces very soon acquire an international reputation.
1994
IMBM becomes DATC and is established in Besançon, in France, with a new production site that is more efficient and versatile.
2003
DATC extends its range of products and becomes a supplier of worldwide drilling solutions for a demanding clientele in over 30 countries.
