[pdf] The choice of drill bit is critical for drilling into limestone. Carbide-tipped drill bits are generally recommended due to their hardness and ability to withstand abrasion. Diamond-tipped drill bits are even more effective for harder limestone varieties but are also more expensive.
[pdf] Rotary bits drill the formation using primarily two principles: 1. Rock removal by exceeding its shear strength and 2. Removal by exceeding the compressive strength. The broken rock is removed by rotary scraping or hydraulic cleaning. Either process can also contribute to the initial breakage. Most drilling. .
Diamonds embedded in a matrix have been used since the early Chinese dynasties; however, modern usage for mineral exploration.
