Cause
Solution
Not enough water to remove the slurry.
Remove the bit and drive the core out with a spike through the hub. Increase water flow.
The core barrel is dented from hammering to remove stuck cores.
Repair the barrel and increase water flow.
A steel bar moved during drilling and jammed the bit.
Disconnect the bit from the machine. Use a spanner to turn the bit in both directions until it is released.
Still stuck?
WhatsApp a photo of the bit and the job. We will help.
