Interesting, what are the cutters made out of?

Carbide.
Tap them with a hammer and they chip.
Run 30K weight on them for thousands if feet through rock, dirt, abrasive sands and it doesn't phase them.
Well, MOST of the time!
I've been known to fuck them up pretty good!!
Sliding is harder on them them rotating because you load the radius more than the nose profile.Tommy

That's fascinating.. Cool tools. Can't wrap my head around a mile and a half of shaft trying to turn that thing without turning into a pretzel...

Yeah, it's a trip.
We actually drill well over 12000-13000 ft. routinely, with over 50* tangents, then drop to vertical and hold that for another 3000' in a 25' diameter cylinder.
We'll have 3 miles of pipe in the ground, with over a mile departure from wellhead, and I have to slide holding the direction at a certain azimuth on a compass heading using differential pressure to control reactive torque and hold my bearing...AS I drill with no rotation..it can be challenging at times.
Imagine sticking a piece of wire through 3 miles of conduit, then threading the bent end into a needle using "twist" to do it.
That's what I do to afford food and boats!!!

Wowzers! What's Azimuth? Originally Posted by thatguy
