Diamond tip drill bits are sharper and cleaner, they last longer and they just plain work better than the carbide wet drilling bits. Users of new diamond tip drill bits say these bits can drill for 100 to 300 times longer than the old bits, and they can do it while increasing the rate of penetration and replacing percussion drilling. Additionally, these bits require less steel to reduce the thrust requirements and reduce the wear on them, so maintenance costs, as well as time spent maintaining and replacing them, goes down. They also produce less dust that chokes the air around the drill, and noise levels are reduced by 20 to 40 decibels.
