Types of Bits
1.
Drag Bits: Consist of fixed cutter blades
that are integral with the body of the bit and
rotate as a unit with the drill string (19th
century).
2.
Rolling Cutter Bits: (1909) have two or
more cones containing the cutting elements
which rotate about the axis of the cone as the
bit is rotated at the bottom of the hole
