Has anyone ever attempted to use a 4ft bit to drill for pockets? I understand power tools are prohibited on public land. Just theoretical. Say I have a 4ft diamond bit and a 1/4" endoscope and a 20v max hammer drill

Very innovative Jimmyrig, I hope it works out for you. I could see where this type of exploratory operation would be of great value especially when looking for pockets deep into Granit. How long
does it take to drill a test hole? Woody. -------------------- Proud CP Lifetime Member

How long does it take to drill a test hole? Woody. In the ground.. just depends on what I hit. was about 5 mins for most. Drilling into granite is a bit more time consuming but allows me access to previously rock locked pockets. I did use my scope to investigate up a couple tubes. Was fun and did work well, just no Topaz... -------------------- James
