CNC Drag Bits

CNC drag bits perform best in soft to medium formations, including clay, shale, and unconsolidated soils commonly found in water well, HDD, and geothermal drilling. Their fixed-blade design allows efficient cutting without the need for high rotational forces, making them a cost-effective choice compared to PDC or roller cone bits in these ground types.

Drag bits use fixed alloy steel or carbide blades to shear through soft formations, while PDC bits use polycrystalline diamond compact cutters designed for harder, more abrasive rock. Drag bits are generally more economical for softer ground, whereas PDC bits offer longer life and higher performance in tougher drilling conditions.

Yes, Infinity Tool MFG offers custom manufacturing for drag bits alongside standard off-the-shelf options. Their in-house engineering and drafting team can design blade configurations, diameters, and connections tailored to specific formation types and drilling methods, backed by technical sales support for special requirements.

CNC drag bits are widely used in Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD), water well drilling, oil and gas exploration, geothermal drilling, mining, and general construction and geotechnical projects. Their versatility across soft to medium formations makes them a practical choice for pilot hole drilling in multiple sectors.

Drag bits are manufactured at Infinity Tool MFG's state-of-the-art facility in Benton, Illinois, using advanced CNC machining technology. This ensures precise blade geometry and consistent quality across every bit, supported by an experienced technical team for custom orders and application-specific guidance.

In-stock drag bits are typically dispatched within two working days. Expedited or urgent shipments can be arranged by contacting the sales team directly. Custom-manufactured bits may require additional lead time depending on design complexity; contact Infinity Tool MFG for specific project timelines.
