Abstract

See full text

A rotary cone rock bit for drilling boreholes in an earthen formation is disclosed. One or more rotary cones are rotatively retained on a journal bearing connected to the rock bit. These rotary cones form a circumferential heel row with extended ultra hard shaped cutters spaced within the heel row. Each of the shaped cutters form a cutting surface that extends above the heel row or is angled with respect to the formation to maintain the cutters in compression while the cutters shear a borehole wall. The shaped cutters serve to maintain the borehole diameter.
