TriHawk III features superior abrasion resistance and massive, carbide-core cutting teeth designed to efficiently cut through soft to medium rock up to 12,000 psi (827 bar) and cobble. Welded carbide grit is applied not only to the bit surface, but also into grooves that are cut into high-wear areas, keeping the bit surface smooth and resulting in less resistance when pushing to steer. Key Features • TriHawk III’s large, flat steering plane helps provide outstanding steering control. • Strategic placement of welded carbide grit increases wear resistance and extends the life of the bit. •...
