Pilot drilling is a process of drilling a pilot hole in a small diameter along the axis of shaft (Fig. 4). When the pilot hole breaks through into the lower level, the roller bit is removed and replaced with a reaming head. The reamer is rotated and pulled back toward the drilling unit, and eventually the shaft is formed.
