  Michelle TylerAug 4, 2025
  A slow drill speed on your Boart Longyear Drill can be caused by several factors. It could be due to low air pressure; ensure it's at least 90 psi (620 kPa). Other potential causes include a damaged chuck, fronthead, or a worn piston, all of which would need replacement. Excessive moisture in the air can also lead to this issue, so drain the air lines and install moisture traps, being careful not to hit the cylinder.

  If your Boart Longyear Drill is freezing, several issues could be the cause. The cylinder might be damaged and require replacement. Check for a plugged air screen in the lubricator or air hose and clean it. Ensure cuttings are being removed effectively from the hole by checking the water tube, clearing any blockages in the drill steel, and verifying water pressure. Proper alignment in the hole is crucial, so keep the drill steel centered. Also, check if the bit is gauged correctly and inspect the bits for missing buttons or blades. Finally, excessive moisture in the air supply can cause freezing, so blow out the air lines and install moisture traps.
