core bit VS. auger bit
I introduced auger bit last two blog. Auger bit is faster and easier to drill (e.g. making hole for temperature monitoring). However, this is difficult for gravel layer. Core bit (picture) is, in general, for core sampling but also better for gravel layer drilling. We have several different shape of the core bit using carbide or diamond.
