Roller bit Tricone roller bit Milled tooth bit Insert bit
The roller bit is a type of rock drilling tool widely used in oil well drilling, water well drilling, mining, geothermal, and horizontal directional drilling (HDD). It is designed with one or more rotating cone cutters that crush and break rock formations under high weight on bit (WOB) and rotary speed.
The tricone roller bit is the most common type of roller cone bit, featuring three rotating cone cutters mounted on a heavy-duty body. Each cone is equipped with either steel teeth (milled tooth) or tungsten carbide inserts (TCI), depending on the formation being drilled. Tricone bits are known for their stability, durability, and high drilling efficiency.
The milled tooth bit, also known as a steel tooth bit, is a type of tricone roller bit designed for drilling soft to medium-hard formations. The teeth are milled directly from the cone body and then hardfaced with tungsten carbide to resist wear. Milled tooth bits are known for their aggressive cutting action and high penetration rate in soft formations.
The insert bit, also known as a TCI (Tungsten Carbide Insert) bit, is a type of tricone roller bit that uses tungsten carbide inserts press-fitted into the cone. These inserts provide excellent wear resistance and impact strength, making insert bits ideal for drilling hard and abrasive formations. Insert bits are widely used in mining, oil well, and geothermal drilling.
