Ring Drills are special long-hole drills that are used to drill the deep holes necessary for Blasthole mining methods. Designed to drill with sectional steel, this drill can drill a hole 4 feet as it travels up the track. When the drill reaches the upper end of the track, another 4-ft length of steel is coupled on. These machines can drill 100 ft. or more.
