THE TWISTER™ - REGULAR
The Twister's breakthrough design has democratized the mining industry. As an economic alternative to PDC bits, the Twister drills with fixed cutter productivity for only a third of the cost of PDCs. Designed to be run with traditional jet type fluid flow, in a work-over application, drilling cement, cast iron bridge plugs and retaining rings. The XG Twister features five jet type ports for high pressure fluid flow to break up and clean the bottom of the hole.
All of these features lead to increased bit life and shorter drill out runs.
Formations: Work & completion
Features: Five jet type ports, tungsten carbide chisel inserts
Applications: work-over, cement drilling, cast iron bridge plugs and retaining rings
Circulation: Regular
THE BADGER™ - REVERSE
The Badger is specifically designed to be run in a reverse circulation, work-over application, drilling cement, cast iron bridge plugs and retaining rings. The Badger features three large circulation ports that provide the maximum amount of fluid flow when used in a Reverse Circulation application. Aggressive tungsten carbide chisel inserts provide an exceptionally fast drilling rate and added cutting structure durability.
Formations: Workover & completion
Features: Three large circulation ports, tungsten carbide chisel inserts
Circulation: Reverse
THE ELIMINATOR™ - REGULAR
The Eliminator has a concave face for centering on the surface being drilled and is designed drilling the outside of the hole first.
