Abstract
A drilling and bolting tool includes a drill feed for driving a bit to form a hole in a rock surface, a cable feed system, and a resin system. The drill feed includes a frame and a drill head supported on the frame. The cable feed system is coupled to the drill feed, and the cable feed system includes a cable drive for driving a cable into the hole. The resin system includes a hose in fluid communication with a resin supply. The resin system further including a hose drive system for selectively extending the hose into the hole and retracting the hose from the hole.
