HOLE OPENERS
They are manufactured with the number of cutters adapted to the work required. All our hole openers are field maintainable,
with easy assembly and disassembly. They are all equipped with 3 or 4 cutters, as well as mud nozzles precisely located to
clean the cutters and the hole simultaneously.
CUTTER TYPES
Drillstar Industries manufactures interchangeable cutter sets.
For example :
26”, 24”, 23” and 22” OD hole openers all have the same
cutters.
Cutters are made of heat-treated steel and are tungsten carbide
hardfaced. Shown here is a sample of the EIGHT cutter types
available.
Type S
Tooth type for soft formation.
(clay, salt, soft limestone)
Type M
Adapted for medium formation.
(shale, limestone, anhydrite)
Type H
Ideal for hard formation.
(dolomitic and quartzitic limestone, granite)
Type SH
Tungsten carbide insert for super hard formation.
(granite, flint, taconite, basalt, quartzitic sand and
pyrite).

STABILIZERS
Drillstar Stabilizers reflect the years our engineers have spent in the field deviating wells, side-tracking and fishing.
The design of our stabilizers benefits directly from their experience. Drillstar stabilizers are no showroom pieces, they
are sturdy, rugged and easy to maintain, exactly what you need in the field.
Drillstar Industries offers a complete range of body integral (BIB) and sleeve integral blade (SIB) stabilizers in a wide range of
diameters (4¾” to 26”) .
We have developed an exclusive type of assembly to answer safety, durability and cost criteria for sleeve integral blade (SIB)
stabilizers. Drillstar SIB stabilizers allow you to reduce maintenance and replacement costs while keeping the same safety and
reliability as Body Integral Blades. Spiralled blades are cut out of one solid piece of AISI 4145 H fully heat-treated steel.
