• Bit Stability
The stability features ensure the bit will drill in a
stable mode and limit damage due to excessive
vibration.
• CFD Hydraulics
Computational Fluid Dynamics is used as a design
tool to ensure optimum cuttings removal and
balance fluid flow while limiting bit body erosion.
• Gauge Protection
Tungsten Carbide Inserts in the gauge limit the
