Frequently Asked Questions
This bit is specifically optimized for soft to medium-hard formations, providing the best balance of speed and durability in these conditions.
We recommend an RPM of 80-150 and a WOB of 0.35-0.8 KN. Note that upper limits of both should not be used simultaneously to prevent premature wear.
The Journal Sealed Bearing combined with Rubber O-Rings ensures that lubrication is maintained while preventing drilling fluids and debris from entering the bearing assembly.
Yes, it features a 6-5/8″ API REG connection, which is a global industry standard for well drilling equipment.
The nozzle placement and tooth geometry are designed to maximize fluid flow, which flushes cuttings away rapidly and prevents the bit from "balling up" in sticky formations.
While highly effective for soft to medium-hard rock, for very hard or abrasive formations, we recommend our PDC or TCI Tricone bits for better wear resistance.
