    Thread Support

    Mincon XP+ rotary drill bits support the industry-standard API and BECO threads for your drill rig and drill pipe, ensuring compatibility that will keep you drilling.

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
