Carbide Supported Edge<br />

CSE cutters feature an extended<br />

chamfer edge which reinforces<br />

the diamond table against<br />

detrimental blows. CSE cutters<br />

delay the onset of fracturing<br />

and cutter wear, dramatically<br />

extending cutter life.<br />

Polished Cutters<br />

Patented “Black Ice” polished<br />

cutters reduce shear forces,<br />

significantly improving cuttings<br />

removal, thus reducing torque<br />

and increasing overall penetration<br />

rates.<br />

STAR Gauge<br />

STAR bits utilize a more durable<br />

gauge pad with a tighter diamond<br />

setting for enhanced gauge holding<br />

capabilities in directional and<br />

abrasive applications.<br />

Updrill Feature<br />

A standard feature which assists<br />

the drilling operation when tight<br />

hole conditions are encountered<br />

or backreaming is required.<br />

Wear Knots (optional)*<br />

Matrix pads, located behind the<br />

cutters restrict the depth of cut,<br />

reducing torque fluctuations.<br />

Directional Feature (optional)<br />

The cutter’s backrake has<br />

been increased, reducing torque<br />

variations.<br />

*Only on certain styles<br />
