Custom PDC Drill Bit

150/171/185/250mm PDC Tower Reaming Drill Bit

Four-step tower PDC reamer (150/171/185/250mm) fitted with 1308 reinforced dome PDC cutters. Stable penetration in cobble, conglomerate & red sandstone. Custom OD & thread for water well, geo-exploration, mining & piling works.

Product Overview

Standard reaming tools often suffer from bit wobble, premature cutter chipping and borehole collapse when drilling through poorly cemented cobble-conglomerate intervals. Our tower-style PDC reaming bit adopts a four-tier stepped cutting profile , enlarging the borehole progressively from top to bottom. Load is distributed across multiple cutter rows instead of concentrating on a single annulus, delivering straighter hole trajectory and cleaner borehole walls.
Each blade carries 1308 reinforced dome-shaped PDC inserts engineered for high-impact, high-abrasion downhole conditions. The forged alloy steel body features stress-relieved threaded connections, resisting thread galling during repeated tripping cycles. Stock sizes: Φ150 / Φ171 / Φ185 / Φ250 mm, with full custom machining available for non-standard diameters and proprietary rod couplings.
It bridges pilot-hole drilling and final reaming in one run, cutting trip times across shallow water wells, underground coal development, slope anchorage boreholes and bridge foundation pilot holes.
Recommended Geology
Cobble & sandy gravel|Cemented conglomerate|Fractured incompetent zones|Weathered red sandstone|Interbedded hard-soft strata

Typical Applications

Geological exploration & core pilot drilling|Domestic & industrial water well boring|Underground metal & coal mine development|Slope stabilization anchor drilling|Bridge pile foundation pilot reaming

Customization Capability

  • Custom stepped diameter combinations per borehole design
  • Thread options: API REG, custom trapezoidal pin/box, proprietary rod threads
  • Adjustable cutter exposure & blade count matched to rig torque & RPM

Key Advantages

  • Progressive 4-stage tower reaming minimizes borehole deviation and casing running friction
  • 1308 reinforced dome PDC cutters balance self-sharpening cutting action with impact resistance
  • Staggered cutter layout absorbs intermittent shock loads, reducing catastrophic cutter breakout
  • Flexible low-volume prototyping for project-specific drilling envelopes
