The Eliminator
One-Cone Bit
The One-Cone bit includes the same proven technology
utilized in RBI-Gearhart journal bearing motor bits that
feature the patented Reaming Gage and fully-floating
Journal Bearing. Diamond enhanced inserts are utilized
in critical rows to maintain gage diameter.
Additional features not found in any other slim hole bit
that increase the bit's durability over conventional three-
cone bits: The cone/seal speed is approximately that
of a three-cone bit. For example:
Bit Speed: 300 RPM
Three-Cone Bit Cone/Seal Speed: 450 RPM
One-Cone Bit Cone/Seal Speed: 225 RPM
The cone is significantly larger than those of a three-
cone bit. The bearing capacity is significantly higher
than those for a three-cone bit. The inserts are larger
and tougher than a comparable three-cone bit, which
allows longer bit life under higher applied loads in
harder formations.
Availability:
Bit sizes 3 " through 6 in. and IADC codes 4-3-7
through 8-3-7

12 C2 Modified
This bit has been modified to
improve the gauge durability
without scarifying the overall
performance of the bit and
achieve good ROP.
The inner cutting structure is of
a 517, while the outer rows
have a 547 IADC code

The exercise has the scope to
show the improvement of insert
number on gauge rows.
Standard C2 has 52 gauge
inserts, the modified version can
be fitted with 65, 71 or 76 gauge

Loose Cone Indicator
A hole is bored from the cone pocket to the ID bore. A
threaded sleeve is welded in place. A hollow abradable steel
cannister is screwed into the sleeve. Upon loss of the cone
bearing the innermost insert row will cut the cannister,
causing a loss in standpipe pressure.
