The Step Type (Single Tower) PDC Bit is specifically engineered for precision drilling in soft to medium-hard formations. Unlike flat-faced bits, its unique tiered "tower" structure allows for progressive cutting, which enhances stability and prevents the bit from deviating in complex geological layers. This bit is a top performer for water well contractors and mining exploration teams who require a balance of speed and borehole straightness.
Key Features
Progressive Cutting Structure: The stepped "tower" design ensures a gradual engagement with the formation, reducing vibration and increasing the service life of the PDC cutters.
Enhanced Stability: The single-tower geometry provides excellent centering capabilities, ensuring a straighter and cleaner borehole.
High-Performance PDC Inserts: Outfitted with premium cutters that offer high wear resistance and impact toughness, suitable for sand, shale, and soft limestone.
Optimized Fluid Hydraulics: Designed with strategically placed water ports and deep junk slots to ensure rapid cooling and efficient removal of cuttings, even in sticky clay layers.
Rugged Steel Body: CNC-machined from high-strength alloy steel with a professional anti-corrosion gold coating.
