What is the Diamond Edge drill bit?
The Diamond Edge is a patent pending PDC drill bit designed to run at high penetration rates even in applications that call for higher blade and cutter counts. Its unique cutting structure layout adds another dimension to bit stability and smooth running by combining the penetration rate potential of traditional “single set” cutter layouts with the life extending features of a “plural set” cutter layout. The result is a bit that runs up to 20 percent faster than conventional PDC bits with minimum bit wear. How does the cutting structure work? With Diamond Edge, Varel has extended the advantages of an asymmetric blade cutting structure in the control of bit vibration by adding precisely defined plural cutter blade asymmetry. This proprietary approach enhances both stability and penetration rate. You get more out of the bit, and more out of the diamond on the bit. What are the benefits of the new design? Diamond Edge bits work across an extended range of weight on bit, penetrating quickl
