lackTrax Bits
BlackTrax is a revolutionary line of PDC
bits designed specifically for steerable
applications. Contrary to traditional
beliefs, BlackTrax bits feature a less
aggressive gauge, designed to improve
stability. Research has shown, BlackTrax
bits with their long tandem gauge and
limited side cutting action, have
improved steerability and deliver a
quality wellbore. BlackTrax bits take
advantage of Engineered Cutter
Technology. Each bit’s cutter configuration
is tailored for a specific application.
Additional features like Balanced
Hydraulics, streamlined blades and junk
slots, and a tough Duraset gauge
make BlackTrax bits the perfect choice
for all of your steerable applications.
