A cut in which a number of central holes are drilled toward a focal point and, when fired, break out a conical section of strata.
Industry:Mining
A cut in which holes of equal or increasing length are drilled in a pattern on a horizonal plane or in a selected stratum to break out a considerable part of it before the rest of the round is fired; the holes are fired in succession in accordance with the increasing angle they form in relation to the face.
Industry:Mining
A cut made in the face of a heading for which three or four holes are drilled normal to the face and in a triangle or square, 12 to 18 in (30.48 to 45.72 cm) on a side, with another hole in the center. One, two, or three holes are loaded and shot; the others relieve the pressure and induce breaking. A cavity is formed to which other shots in the face readily break. Used for esp. tough ground.

Industry:Mining
A cutter chain on an armored flexible conveyor that cuts its own stable holes; pushed by pulsating rams; height, 18 in (45.7 cm); minimum workable seam, 20 in (50.8 cm); on gradients 0 degrees to 20 degrees ; maximum length of face, 45 yd (40 m).
Industry:Mining
A cutter chain that carries more picks along the bottom line than the topline. Most chains for cutting at floor level are unbalanced to assist in keeping the jib down.
Industry:Mining
A cutter chain that has the same number of bottom and top picks. It usually cuts more freely in hard material and is often used for cutting at higher than floor level.
