Secoroc Oilfield PDC drill bits

PDC
drill bits
– shear rock with a
continuous scraping
motion
Atlas Copco Secoroc's PDC drill
bits provide a drilling tool that uses
polycrystalline diamond compact (PDC)
cutters to shear rock with a continuous
Matrix Body
scraping motion.

These cutters are synthetic diamond disks

about 1/8 inch thick and about 1/2 to 3/4
inch in diameter.

These products are offered in both a steel

body and matrix body construction.

Atlas Copco Secoroc PDC offerings

include drill bits ranging in diameter from
7-7/8 in (200 mm) to 36 in (914 mm) in the
steel body construction and 5-7/8 in (149
mm) to 17-1/2 in (445 mm) in the matrix
body construction.

Several different product lines are offered

providing a highly efficient, cost effective
solution for most drilling applications.
