Sidetrack <strong>Bit</strong>s<br />
Our sidetracking bits feature shallow cone<br />
profiles that produce minimal resistance to<br />
directional changes. The short shoulder<br />
radius enhances the lateral cut when side<br />
forces are applied for successful kickoffs.<br />
<strong>Hughes</strong> <strong>Christensen</strong> sidetracking bits are<br />
available with PDC, BallaSet and natural<br />
diamond cutters to meet all of your applications.<br />
All sidetracking designs feature<br />
tungsten carbide matrix body construction<br />
for erosion resistance and all have natural<br />
diamond protection at the gauge.<br />
Speedmill <strong>Bit</strong>s<br />
Diamond speed mills utilize a flat profile<br />
with short shoulder radius. This profile<br />
provides the greatest surface area in<br />
direct contact with the casing. The short<br />
shoulder radius is designed to combine<br />
durability with an aggressive edge to<br />
begin the casing window. Our speed<br />
mills commonly utilize small 10 – 12 SPC<br />
stones evenly distributed in a grid pattern.<br />
The smaller, less exposed diamonds have<br />
high impact resistance to prevent breakage<br />
while drilling steel casing. The<br />
gauge, designed with abrasion resistant<br />
natural diamonds, are flush set to provide<br />
the greatest protection when drilling<br />
through steel casing.<br />
