BENEFITS
TRUE ONE PIECE DESIGN
ENSURES THAT THE BIT IS MANUFACTURED
THE WAY IT WAS ENGINEERED.
F.A.S.T. TECHNOLOGY
COMBATS BIT WHIRL, ENHANCES CUTTING
PERFORMANCE AND REDUCES DOWNHOLE
VIBRATIONS.
OPTIMIZED HYDRAULICS
Anti-Balling Technology
Patented nitriding process
changes the electrical
potential of the steel to a
very strong negative.
The bit then acts as a cathode that
repels the negative ions in the mud,
forming a lubricant barrier of highly
concentrated water on the surface of
the bit, preventing the bit from balling.
VORTEXXTM NOZZLES
Vortexx™ nozzles create a
negative impingement
pressure at the formation
interface and increase
turbulence under the bit

Low-torque Gage Pad
Non-Aggressive, low torque edges on the cut out
gage pad reduce bit-to-wall interference helping to
reduce whirl tendencies, improves wellbore quality
and decreases the reactive torque at gage.
