A larger diameter reaming head, with a series of cutters with tungsten carbide buttons, is installed to the drill string and back-reamed to the top of the shaft. Conventional raise drilling can be used for rises as small as 1.1m in diameter up to 6.0m diameter shafts and over 1000m in total depth.\n\t\t\t<h2>BOXHOLE<\/h2>\t\t\t\nBoxhole boring is a method of drilling blind up-hole rises between levels normally seen in a single pass. These can be drilled at any angle from as low as 30\u00b0 from vertical. Boxhole rises are usually between 0.66m diameter and 0.75m diameter.\n\t<a href=\"\/why-us\/\" target=\"_self\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"WHY RAISING AUSTRALIA\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tWHY RAISING AUSTRALIA\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ABOUT RAISE DRILLING RAISE DRILLING A non-blasting mechanical method of excavating full-face circular diameter raises through rock.
