New bit
« on: March 18, 2011, 03:57:18 pm »
Here is our new 8 3/4 oklahoma claw bit we have used claw bits for many years but this is our first step down hole opener claw we have had and made many roller style openers . So here are the stats from two different style bits ok last job we drilled a 360 ft well we did our test hole with a 6 1/4 claw bit and after that was done we opened the hole with a 8 3/4 roller bit it took 2 days to open the hole to 360 ft ok here is the next job  same depth  same test hole diameter yesterday we used our new claw hole opener it took 3.5 hours to get the hole opend to 360 ft talk about saving money that alot of deisle saved







The rusty claw bit on the end  is the pilot bit that rides inside the test hole to keep the new opend hole straight and the welded strap keeps it from unscrewing  the new hole opener is the the blue one

And a side note roller bits you have to send them off to get re built and these claw bits I can re tip it in under 10 min that's a great advantage to the roller bit and it will drill rock or clay faster also

You drilling for Oil or Gas?

Bowmakers are a little bent, but knappers are just plain flaky.

That claw is pretty impressive what kind of a torque load does it put on you're equipment as compared to the roller bit?Ron
If we can't help each other what is the point of being here?

I'm not sure we don't have any gauges to tell the difference in torque but I can say we had to ride the break It was cutting so fast

 But they are so expensive. I've got roller bits I've been using for the last 20 years. I don't cut the big holes enough to justify the cost. But, I can see where they would be easy to rebuild.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

 Can you email me the info where you are getting them. I'd like to try one in one of these Gyp stacks like what I'm drilling in Pasadena.
