Optimized shirttail gap
Optimized shirttail gap
Optimized shirttail gap to hole wall reduces the strain and wear on the arms by reducing contact with hole wall. The optimised clearance also increases cutting bailing and improves the rate of penetration

Water and debris separator
Water and debris separator
Water and debris separator ensures only clean air is being
used to cool the bearings. -
/ 03
Multiple jetted air nozzle sizes
Multiple jetted air nozzle sizes
Multiple jetted air nozzle sizes are available to suit your drilling conditions and are selected based on orifice and load testing carried out in the
field. -

Mincon XP-series
Mincon XP-series rotary bits are available with industry standard API or BECO threads.
PRECISION-MADE FOR PERFORMANCE
Using real-world drilling experience, our engineers know that quality and precision can impact performance. Precise manufacturing for our XP-series rotary drill bits ensures inserts do not pop out or fracture, while reducing wear.
-
Unique bearing design with tighter tolerances for improved wear resistance
-
Increased lubrication and reduced heat generation lessens wear
-
Arm design features wear buttons to reduce wear and prevent debris build-up in bearings
-
Optional Center Flush feature to mitigate build-up of cuttings and reduce wear
-
Double back row as standard on 9⅞” and larger bits
