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 />

Designed for Specific Applications<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 />
