STAGE IMPREGNATED BIT

We broke the industry standard by
being the first to introduce a bit with
25mm of impregnation.
Armed with driller feedback we are
dedicated to providing the best
product in the market place.
As a result, we are about to make
that bit better.

KEY TAKE AWAYS - STAGE

PRODUCTIVITY: With the tallest crown height in the market this bit
will last longer and be more cost-effective than any impregnated bit
available
PRODUCTIVITY: The highly efficient patented windows allow for
superior flushing capabilities and highly productive penetration rates.
STABILITY: The longer crown height adds stabilization to the drill
string which results in less deviation at the bottom of the hole and
increases both reamer life and overall productivity
SIMPLICITY: With the introduction of a 16mm version and the
improved waterway design; rationalizing bits in the region becomes
easier STAGE Waterways and the formulation

SURFACE SET XP

We created the first mechanically set

surface-set bit design in the 1930s
Drillers relied solely on high quality
surface-set technology until the
introduction of our impregnated diamond
technology which revolutionized
productivity for much of the industry.
However, many surface-set drillers never
had a reason to leave their trusted
technology behind for impregnated
diamond bits UNTIL NOW.

OLD VS NEW SURFACE SET XP

TRADITIONAL SURFACE SET BIT
A single layer of natural diamonds that
is set in a hard matrix and can be
manufactured in many crown profiles to
fit the different types of formations

SURFACE SET XP
The crown is made up of a patented
matrix and large synthetic stones that
wears away during the drilling process
and exposes new layers of stones,
renewing the cutting points.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW - SURFACE SET XP

SIMPLICITY
Surface Set XP bits have been
developed to free drillers from the
need to specify crown profiles,
diamond grades, or diamond sizes.

WEAR PATTERN - SURFACE SET XP

This bit drilled
7,500 ft.
(2,286 m.)

This bit drilled 2,000 ft.

(610 m.). An increase of
500% over a traditional
surface set bit in the
same conditions.
Most users state that if they can average 1,500 ft. (457 m.) on a bit they are happy.

KEY TAKE AWAYS - SURFACE SET XP

VERSATILITY: A single bit will excel in both soft ground conditions
and hard lenses
SIMPLICITY: One optimized design saves time when ordering and
makes stocking in warehouses easier no need to specify profiles,
diamond grades or stone sizes
PRODUCTIVITY: Whether drilling one deep hole or twenty shallow
holes, a bit will last over 200% longer, cut faster, and be more costeffective than any traditional surface set bit available
