PDC stands for Polycrystalline Diamond Compact which refers to the cutters on these drill bits. PDC bits have exceptional rates of penetration when drilling & can out preform other bits in the right conditions. The diamond cutters are 10 times stronger than steel and PDC bits are most effective when drilling through shale, salt, clay, stone, sand, and concrete. Dominant Size Of Cutters Additional Options Design Features IDEAL FOR: EVIRONMENTAL DRILLING, MINING, GEOTHERMAL & CONSTRUCTION ^

CONE BITS IADC CODE REFRENC FIRST DIGIT: JBKk * Mill Tooth Assign numbers 1-3 for Soft, Medium & Hard Formations Tungsten Carbide Inserts Assign numbers 4-8. The higher the series number the harder more abrasive the rock formation. FIRST SECOND THIRD LETTER DIGIT DIGIT DIGIT SECOND DIGIT: Relative degree of hardness within the series. Higher numbers indicate harder formations. Numbers range from 1-4 further assist in identifying the formation with 4 being the Hardest & 1 being the Softest. THIRD DIGIT: Numbers 1-7 indicate the primary Seal/Bearing Design, Seal protection & Special Gauge...

DRAG BITS DRAG BITS Other than PDC bits, Drag Bits have the lowest cost per bit. Drag bits are a rotary drill bit built with a steel body and tungsten carbide teeth. These bits will out preform other more expensive bits if used appropriately. Drag bits are extremely popular choice for seismic drilling, blast hole drilling and geothermal drilling applications. For best results adjust the rotational speed to 50% less than what you would normally use for a tricone bit of the same size and reduce the weight on bit by the same amount. GATORBACK DRILL BITS These durable bits are capable of...

CLAW BITS CLAW BITS Claw bit drill bits are an excellent choice for soft to medium formations. Claw bits devour gravel, and drill well through, clays; shale's and sand stones. There are many different styles of claw bits available. AT WESTERN DRILLING TOOLS THE CLAW BIT BODY, FINGERS, AT WESTERN DRILLING TOOLS WE CAN RECOMMEND THE APPROPRIATE CLAW BIT FOR YOUR DRILLING NEEDS A nice advantage of using a claw bit is that the teeth and pilot bits are easy to replace and repair both in the field and the shop. OUR CLAW BITS RANGE IN SIZE FROM 4-3/4 (120.6MM) CLAW BIT WITH A 2-3/8 API REG
