1. Stop rotation.
2. Raise bit.
Loose material
(cut steel or ag-
gregates) is block-
ing between core
and bit or between
borehole and bit.
Step 1: Apply wrench and rotate bit

Step 2: Try to over drill a hole
slightly larger then the stuck bit.
Drill moved dur-
ing drilling (poor
fastening)
Disconnect bit and remove, break
core. Start over with improved fas-
tening of machine.
Bit deviates, guide
ways on cradle
have too much
clearance.
Disconnect machine, adjust guid-
ance.
No clearance be-
tween tube I.D. or
O.D. and crown I.D.
or O.D.
