With the introduction of TCT bits, Smith Bits incorporates 21st century engineering design and materials technology that elevates performance of two-cone rock bits to new heights. Smith Bits’ new designs have successfully addressed the historical issue of excessive vibration, and the application of modern design tools and materials combine to create a bit with outstanding performance in a wide variety of drilling applications.
2 Cone Milled Tooth
Smith two-cone bits have a cutting structure layout that optimally exploits the bit’s unique characteristics. Two-cone bits have lower tooth counts than equivalent three-cone bits, and higher point loading per tooth for improved formation penetration. The bits also benefit from current technology for insert geometries and the latest carbides and hardfacing materials. (more...)
2 Cone TCT
Smith Bit’s 21st century two-cone drill bits were designed using the proprietary IDEAS drill bit design platform. IDEAS’ dynamic modeling capabilities mean that its two-cone bits are designed, evaluated and tested in a virtual setting to reduce vibration, enhance the bit’s stabilization and increase ROP.
