RMT 571 Pneumatic Rock Drill

Its forged steel body is worth noting specifically: forged steel handles the repeated shock and vibration of continuous drilling better than lighter cast options, which supports a longer working life under daily production use and reduces the downtime and severe maintenance requirement.

The drill also uses a rifle-bar rotation mechanism, paired with 2,100 blows per minute, giving it a high penetration rate for its weight class.

Where Is RMT 571 Sinker Rock Drill Used?

The RMT 571 is built for smaller jobs and bench or secondary drilling , or smaller-scale production drilling that doesn't need a heavier rig. It's also used for smooth blast drilling, and specifically for drilling narrow faces or poor footing ground, where a lighter, more manoeuvrable drill is genuinely safer and easier to control than a heavier alternative.

Its built-in air flushing clears drill chippings from the hole as it works, helping prevent jamming — a practical detail that matters more on secondary drilling jobs where hole conditions can be less predictable than on a clean primary face.

Why Choose the RMT 571?

The RMT 571's main advantage is the combination of low weight and real drilling power — "low weight with lots of power," as RMT itself frames it, and that's a fair description given its 6-metre depth capability at 18 kg.

• The RMT 571's forged steel body construction is a deliberate durability choice — forged steel resists the fatigue cracking that can develop in lighter materials under sustained percussive drilling.

• Its rifle-bar rotation mechanism is the same fundamental design used in RMT's heavier drifters, scaled down for this drill's lighter weight class.

• Bench drilling — one of this drill's core uses — refers to drilling a horizontal or near-horizontal working surface (a "bench") in open-pit or quarry mining, distinct from vertical shaft or production blast hole drilling.
