Rock drill mounted on a tripod. The large objects on the legs are weights to anchor it down into position. In reciprocating power drills, the drilling cylinder is mounted on a feed-screw, such that as the hole is drilled and the drilling point recedes from the rock face, the drill-bit continues to move into it, while the anchor point (on the tripod or column) remains in place.

1.25 in (32 mm) hole saw bit. Hole saws take the form of a short open cylinder with saw-teeth on the open edge, used for making relatively large holes in thin material. They remove material only from the edge of the hole, cutting out an intact disc of material, unlike many drills which remove all material in the interior of the hole.
Long hole stoping as the name suggests uses holes drilled by a production drill to a predetermined pattern as designed by a mining engineer. [11] Long hole stoping is a highly selective and productive method of mining and can cater for varying ore thicknesses and dips (0 – 90 degree).
Bucket-wheel excavators have been used in mining for the past century, with some of the first being manufactured in the 1920s. [1] They are used in conjunction with many other pieces of mining machinery ( conveyor belts , spreaders , crushing stations , heap-leach systems , etc.) to move and mine massive amounts of overburden (waste).
