You need a diamond tipped bit to drill almost any rock.
Normally with fossils, you would need thin, 2mm diamond drill head on a andheld base. (round works best, not the screw shaped). - i m just letting you know, i normally drill on rocks and semi precious stone, but i hve never tried drilling on ammonitr, its just what my friend does.
Titanium is Not the best metal for drilling but from a type of carbon steel
It is just one of the best drill bits for drilling in the Oil & gas industry. A drill bit is basically the bit on the end of the drill that does the cutting. A premium drill bit is one that is used in really tough applications.
A standard HSS drill bit, slow it down from normal drilling speed.
It's not necessarily the best. I would prefer to use a hand held electric drill for this.
You put the drill bit in, spin the thing, then you turn it on, then you sing a song.... Whoah...i'm drilling... Whoah...i'm drilling... Cause drilling is fun Whoah...i'm drilling... Plum's best friend
A diamond core drill, slow and easy, with plenty of water.
Most metals are initially drilled with a narrower drill, forming a pilot hole. Then the right size drill is used to complete the drilling of the hole by widening the pilot hole.
It depends on what exactly you are trying to do. The depth you want to drill to; the depth of water you are working in; what type of media you are trying to drill through; the location of the job. There are many types of rig availible; when you know what you want to then you would contact one of the (many) drilling companies who would explain the best options for you.
Arrow shaped glass drilling bits work well. Masonry bits also work. Both can be found at home improvement stores.
The type of bit and drilling type requires more knowledge of the formations to be drilled. Clay and Sand formations can be drilled using mud rotary method with either fishtail bit or long tooth roller cone bit. Down hole hammer drilling is used when rocky formations are encountered. Years ago rock formations were drilled with the mud rotary drilling using a short tooth roller cone bit, but the process was very slow. With the Air operated down hole hammer, drilling can be accomplished at a third of the drilling rate.
There are special drills that are made specially for drilling many types of glass. They work perfectly well on mirrors. For the best results you should drill from the back of the mirror, this reduces the chance of the reflective coating from splitting away from the glass.
