I absolutely love this animation. I'm in the Video/Motion Graphics field in construction and understand that it is so difficult to portray underground work without using 3D Animations. This is definitely inspiring! Thank you.
@@Shanedog76 Are you meaning in an animation sense? If so, I scrolled through frame by frame and there were 4 different slanted nose images. I'm not sure if it was placed in 3d space or not.
Goes straight when rotating, tries to go in a curve when just pushed. Rig operator sees the current way the bit's facing on a display meaning he can steer it as needed.
The drill bit has a certain degree (3-5) bend built in. Think of the angle on a round shovel. It works off of a clock, 12 is straight up, 3 is right, 6 is down, etc. When you push out without rotation, you can “steer” the head. The steel rods, although 2 or 3 inches in diameter, will bend. Think of a metal clothes hanger. When you get pointed in the direction you want, you rotate while pushing (drill). It sounds really complicated, but it really isn’t. Also, it pays really well.
@@johnhall3824 agreed on the pays well part for the most part. SOme companies love to undercut their drillers on their pay. I was working for someone like that till I found my current company.
Its like magic , how does it change direction. ?? Thats the most crucial knowledge to know. Its something to do with the slope of the cutting tip. But still not sure how exactly.
