FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Short Answer: The Excalibur directional blade is designed for smooth, reliable steering and cutting in clay and abrasive soils.
Correct use: Excalibur blades are run during HDD pilot bores when drillers want predictable steering response without aggressive bite or vibration. The rounded bullnose profile allows easy steering pushes while maintaining forward progress.
Technical details: Larger, deeper carbide button cutters grind through abrasive ground while the bullnose design minimizes drag during rotation. Strategically placed carbides along the blade extend service life and maintain cutting efficiency.
Incorrect use includes: Extremely hard rock or cemented cobble where a more aggressive carbide layout is required. Incorrect use can introduce greater risk of slow penetration or excessive wear.
