Read the referenceA method for recording behaviour on site so two wires can be compared honestly.
Read the referenceHow the three interact, the signs of a load or cooling fault, and the order in which to change them.
Read the referenceSymptom, likely cause, inspection and corrective action — plus breakage safety.
Read the referenceWhich parameters interact, and why machine and wire have to be read as one system.
Read the referenceSelection by application rather than by nameplate, and everything the system check has to cover besides the motor.

Read the referenceConsumption cost first, then the attributable costs — with the assumptions stated.
Read the referenceHole diameter, depth, rock and air supply — and when DTH is the wrong answer for the hole you need.
Read the referenceShank families, bit face and button design, air requirements and wear monitoring.
Read the referenceCutting plane, depth limit, access and tooling — and what each system cannot do.
Read the referenceMaterial and reinforcement, compatibility, wet versus dry, common problems and inspection criteria.
Read the referenceIf a reference does not answer your case, send the conditions and we will answer against them — not with a generic reply.
