Application Specific Cutter Technology<br />
Cutters designed for specific applications are strategically positioned on the bit body to match downhole<br />
loads the bit is likely to encounter. All cutters employ the Black Ice polished cutter feature.<br />

Engineered Cutter Placement<br />
From an examination of dulls, it’s obvious certain areas of a bit undergo more wear than others. Some<br />
areas must withstand impact while other areas must be abrasion resistant. BlackTrax bits utilize<br />
Engineered Cutter Placement where Application Specific Cutters are strategically positioned on the bit<br />
body so that their design characteristics match-up well with the loads encountered downhole.<br />
Balanced Hydraulics<br />
Balanced cuttings are achieved through like<br />
blades generating equal cuttings volume.<br />
Cuttings generation is then balanced to hydraulic<br />
flow and junk slot area.<br />
Duraset Gauge<br />
Duraset Gauge provides the<br />
highest abrasion resistance<br />
available. Two leading rows<br />
of tungsten carbide bricks<br />
are followed by a row of natural<br />
cube diamonds. These<br />
alternating rows are embedded<br />
into a highly wear resistant<br />
matrix with impregnated<br />
diamonds.<br />
Streamlined<br />
Geometric Shapes<br />
Fluid movement is<br />
enhanced by streamlined<br />
blades, junk slots and<br />
gauge. Streamlining bit<br />
features greatly reduces<br />
areas of flow stagnation.<br />
