Directional

8 1/2 in MDi616BPXLG PDC

(215.9 mm) ID:64475C3005 FEATURES
Bit design and performance have been
certified through the validation process
prescribed by IDEAS simulation technology.

The PX feature places

thermally stable diamond
inserts (TSP) on the gauge
to maximize gauge retention
and extend bit life.
Low Exposure (MDOC –
Managed Depth Of Cut)
Cutter backing raised to
minimize excessive depth of
cut because of formation
heterogeneity to reduce
cutter loading and minimize
torque in transitional drilling.
Minimizes cutter breakage
and extends bit life.

Smith Bits Directional bits consistently deliver superior performance in directional

applications with both push-the-bit and point-the-bit rotary steerable systems.
