Superdrill PDC Drag Bits for Sandstone Rock
Superdrill PDC Drag Bits, also known as blade bits, are specifically engineered with Tungsten Carbide inserts on their blades. These bits excel in soft formations such as sandstone, clay, and other softer rocks. They are widely used for a variety of applications, including water well drilling, mining operations, geothermal projects, environmental initiatives, and exploration drilling. For the best results, these drag bits should ideally be used to drill pilot holes, as they create cuttings that are easier to log. Typically, drag bits feature 3 wings; however, we can customize designs to have 4 or 5 wings based on your exact specifications.

Cost-Effectiveness and Performance
Compared to PDC bits, Superdrill PDC Drag Bits have an exceptionally low cost per bit. They consist of a robust steel body and tungsten carbide teeth, making them a cost-effective choice for various drilling applications. When used correctly, these drag bits can outperform pricier alternatives for tasks such as seismic drilling, blast hole drilling, and geothermal drilling. For optimal performance, we recommend adjusting the rotational speed to 50% lower than what you would typically use for a tricone bit of the same size and reducing the weight on the bit proportionately.
Description of Drilling Drag Bits
A drilling drag bit consists of a series of blades (typically three or four) that create a shearing action when rotated. These bits are relatively inexpensive due to their straightforward design, which lacks moving parts, making them proficient in penetrating softer formations like stiff clays and mudstones quickly.
Drag bits are particularly effective in very soft to medium formations, especially when other types like DTH hammers or tricone bits may lose their efficiency. Hole cleaning can be achieved through the injection of air or water.
There are two primary types of drag bits available:
- Step Type: Designed for soft ground conditions.
- Chevron Type: Suitable for medium-hard ground conditions.
