FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Short Answer: The Rock Saw directional blade is built for aggressive cutting and steering in rock and abrasive ground.
Correct use: The Rock Saw blade is run during pilot bores when drilling conditions include rock, shale, or other hard, abrasive formations that require sustained cutting power and directional control.
Technical details: Hardened cutting edges and aggressive blade geometry help maintain penetration while resisting wear in demanding ground conditions.
Incorrect use includes: Soft or loose soils where aggressive cutting is unnecessary. Incorrect use can introduce greater risk of excess torque and accelerated wear.
Short Answer: The Rock Saw directional blade is built for aggressive forward and side cutting with controlled steering in hard, compact, and abrasive ground.
Correct use: Rock Saw blades are used in HDD pilot bores where the ground requires both cutting power and steering control. The bullnose profile improves steering response while reducing the tendency to hang up in rock or gravel.
Technical details: Aggressive conical or dome carbide cutters are positioned around the front of the blade to facilitate forward and side cutting. Chunky carbide hardfacing and reinforced welds extend blade life, while the low-profile, contoured back design helps minimize torque-stealing drag.
Incorrect use includes: Extremely soft or flowing soils where aggressive carbide engagement is unnecessary. Incorrect use can introduce greater risk of over-steering or inefficient cutting.
Short Answer: Rock Saw blades are compatible with bolt-on directional blade housings that match the blade's bolt pattern and size.
Correct use: Rock Saw blades should be installed on compatible bolt-on housings with the correct bolt count and bolt size. Proper fit ensures secure attachment and predictable steering performance.
Technical details: Compatibility is determined by blade size and bolt pattern rather than thread type. Rock Saw blades are available with different cutter options but are not designed for threadless systems.
Incorrect use includes: Installing the blade on mismatched bolt patterns or incompatible housings. Incorrect use can introduce greater risk of loosening, misalignment, or premature wear.
Short Answer: Rock Saw blades are best suited for hard, compact soil, gravel, and abrasive ground, including cobbles.
Correct use: Rock Saw blades should be selected when both cutting power and steering control are required in tough ground conditions.
Technical details: Conical carbide cutters provide aggressive penetration in compact ground, while optional dome carbides reduce hang-up in cobbles. The bullnose profile and tapered rear help manage drag and torque during drilling and pullback.
Incorrect use includes: Very soft or fluid soils where aggressive carbide cutters are unnecessary. Incorrect use can introduce greater risk of inefficient cutting and excessive steering correction.
