[QUOTE="Digga, post: 492394, member: 3548"] What bit are you running and rod size, Im thinking been a back pack drill its not going to have a lot of weight behind it. You will need a bit around 12-14 to cut quarts, smaller diamonds soft matrix and easy to expose and strip ur bit, Water is also a big thing. To much and you will polish ur bit , to little and you will weld it to the rock. Bentonite will be a waste of time for you unless ur in sands and shitty surface clays and gravels, If ur going right into hard rock all you need is a short chain liquid polymer. (Maxi drill from mudex) bloody good stuff, Dont get bogged ?? [/QUOTE]
