Rotary drilling involves using a drill bit at the end of a hollow pipe. The drill bit is constructed of very strong steel wheels that are attached to the end of the pipe or a solid bit that can be encrusted with diamonds (PDC).

Rotary drilling is able to bore much farther down through the earth than any other form of drilling; reaching up to 14,000 feet.
