What is the incremental drill?

Increment is an instrument used by people who study forests or try to diagnose various trees problems. They are designed to drill into the wood and extract a very thin sample that can be studied to show the history and condition of the tree. The main idea behind the incremental drill is to get a sample without damaging the tree and therefore the sample is generally very thin. The peaks of the increment consist of a long, hollow drill piece with a hole at the end, a cross handle that provides a good lever effect when rotating with two hands and extractor to pull the sample.

When using the increment drill, the forester will generally have to lean into the handle with its weight to start wood, even if it may vary depending on the strength of the tested tree. As the drill penetrates into the wood, the fibers will perform most of the work when drawing the device into the tree and the whole forester must do, it will continue to rotate. The general goal is the bury drill about halfway to the tree, or slightly behind it, LZe often perform a minute or less.

As soon as the device is deep enough, an extractor is inserted from the outside, which is basically a piece of metal on which the sample rests. At this point Forester generally turns the incremental drill in the opposite direction to break off the sample and then pull out the extractor. Sometimes the samples can be divided into separate pieces, depending on the strength and condition of the wood.

In some cases, samples can be stored in test tubes or even drinking straws. Then they are often marked with the location and type of tree along with other important information depending on the purpose of scientists. In some cases, the increment drill may be used to a sample of one tree, and in other cases scientists sample multiple trees in Gioblast to determine their age, history or if they have different diseases.

the size of the increment drill may vary significantly depending on the type and age patternthe leather of trees. For example, it could be dangerous to use a large addition to a youthful tree and a small drill would not be able to penetrate deep enough into a larger tree. There are also changes in the proposal of used drills, because some trees are more difficult to penetrate.
