3 Significant Advantages of PDC Drill Bits

While drilling is one of the oldest practices in history, drilling technology has come a long way since drilling began. PDC drill bits are better than ever before. If you've never used them before, it's time to take a second look. Here are three significant advantages that PDC drill bits have over traditional drill bits.

1.      PDC drill bits can last up to 100 times longer in conventional drilling applications.  This means that not only will you save money in the long run with PDC drill bits because they require less maintenance, but also because you won't need to purchase replacement drilling tools nearly as often. They also re-attain great penetration rates after re-sharpening (which canoccur every 6-8 months in most cases).

2.      PDC drill bits are stronger than TCI (Tungsten carbide).  They are also able to withstand more drilling pressure because of their unique cutting design. A diamond-impregnated material on the drilling surface, which makes them extremely strong and allows for drilling in new materials, including drilling through previously untouchable surfaces. 

3.      PDC drill bits increase drilling efficiency by up to 40 percent!  This advantage lets you save time and money on drilling projects with all the benefits listed above. A lot of professionals in the drilling industry have admitted to the fact that if I had this information about traditional and roller cone drill bits years ago, they would have made the switch sooner!
