FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Short Answer: The Chunky Valu-Blade is an economical directional blade designed for pilot bores in softer soils.
Correct use: Chunky Valu-Blades are intended for HDD work in forgiving ground such as dirt, clay, and light mixed soils where advanced carbide layouts and heavy wear protection are not required. It is a cost-conscious option for simple bores where cutting demands are low.
Technical details: The blade uses a simplified carbide layout and basic steer-face geometry to keep cost down while still providing functional steering and cutting in soft ground. This design prioritizes affordability over durability in abrasive conditions.
Incorrect use includes: Rocky ground, cobble, cemented soils, or abrasive mixed formations. Incorrect use can introduce greater risk of rapid wear, poor penetration, and reduced tool life.
Short Answer: Chunky Valu-Blades are best suited for soft, forgiving soils such as dirt and clay.
Correct use: This blade is appropriate for conditions often described as “easy digging” ground, where steering and cutting do not place heavy wear demands on the tooling.
Technical details: The simplified carbide structure performs adequately in soft soils but lacks the wear protection and penetration capability needed for rocky, cobble-filled, or abrasive mixed formations.
Incorrect use includes: Drilling in rocky terrain, cobbles, or abrasive mixed soils where more robust blades are required. Incorrect use can introduce greater risk of premature wear and poor drilling performance.
