Just when drillers got used to the pulverising power of the Eagle Claw, MBI made it meaner.
When it comes to ground eating, high production HDD blades and bits, Melfred Borzall is top of the line. At QDS we supply the most popular rock bit, the Eagle Claw, which has long held drillers hearts for its low wear and long use with Melfred Borzall carbide teeth that grind through the toughest rock.
It’s newest iteration, dubbed the Eagle Claw S.D., boasts even more carbide blocks and tougher teeth. It has taken the three standard conical cutter teeth and applied its Chunky Hardfacing in spiral formation around each to give the teeth a better bite and longer life. Surrounding the base of each cutter tooth is an additional carbide block lining high-impact areas to give it more life.
Along with more hardfacing is the addition of carbide blocks impregnated with aggressive domed carbides on the body of the bit. Each of the 5 newly-added blocks holds 5 of its own aggressive domed carbide buttons.
