Sandvik introduced the Alpha 360, a drilling tool system that complements the company’s Alpha 330. Alpha 360 offers a reinforced design, features double the standard thread life, and enables hole accuracy capable of ensuring higher productivity, the company reported. It is designed for 48- to 51-mm-hole sizes in face drilling and bolting.

The thread is guided inside the bit skirt, which enables high-precision collaring in complex rock formations and against uneven surfaces.
