FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Short Answer: Eagle Claw SD cutter teeth let you customize cutting performance to match changing ground conditions.
Correct use: Cutter teeth can be mixed and matched on the Eagle Claw SD bit to optimize penetration, durability, and steering response. For example, dome teeth can be used on the leading edge to push cobbles aside, while aggressive conical teeth handle cleanup cutting.
Technical details: Eagle Claw SD bits support four cutter tooth options: standard conical, large conical, dome, and large conical with chunky hardfacing. This modular system allows the bit to be reconfigured without replacing the entire tool.
Incorrect use includes: Running a single cutter style in ground it is not suited for or ignoring worn teeth. Incorrect use can introduce greater risk of poor penetration, uneven wear, and reduced bit life.
Short Answer: Choose cutter teeth based on whether your ground demands impact resistance, aggressive cutting, or maximum wear life.
Correct use: Dome teeth are commonly used to push cobbles and resist impact, aggressive conical teeth provide fast penetration in hard ground, and chunky hardfaced conical teeth maximize durability in abrasive conditions. Mixing tooth styles allows drillers to fine-tune performance.
Technical details: Cutter teeth are retained with clips and can be replaced in the field using the correct punch tool. This allows rapid configuration changes as ground conditions evolve.
Incorrect use includes: Selecting overly aggressive teeth for soft ground or relying solely on dome teeth for sustained cutting. Incorrect use can introduce greater risk of inefficient drilling and unnecessary wear.
Short Answer: Eagle Claw cutter teeth must match the size and series of the Eagle Claw SD bit being used.
Correct use: Always select cutter teeth, clips, and punch tools that correspond to the specific Eagle Claw SD bit size (such as 3-1/2", 4-1/4", 5", or 6-1/2"). Proper fit ensures secure retention and consistent cutting geometry.
Technical details: Different Eagle Claw sizes use different cutter tooth part numbers, clips, and punch tools. Tooth removal punch tools are included with Eagle Claw SD purchases and are also available separately.
Incorrect use includes: Mixing cutter teeth or clips between incompatible sizes. Incorrect use can introduce greater risk of tooth loss, imbalance, and damage to the bit body.
