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 />
