The Xs S system is used with any size of casing

having a thin wall. 

The life of this system is extended due to its geometry. The crown has an internal shoulder (doughnut) to receive impact directly from the driver providing the necessary force to drill and drive down casing. Having a “socket type” assembly fitting over the casing which allows for better welding alignment. No other system on the market will tolerate the use of a hammer as big as the Xs S drilling system

When working with heavy wall casing, we recommend the use of the Xs T drill, which is made especially to give maximum clearance for sub-casing drilling.

Driver Bit

The driver bit is the device that transfers impact and rotation to the crown bit for drilling. The driver bit locks into two flats on the casing crown and they act together as a standard drill bit, both the driver bit and the crown have tungsten carbide buttons. The Driver bit drills a pilot hole below the crown to guide the direction of the casing in rough drilling. Afterwards this pilot space below the crown allows the square bit to turn without touching the crown.

Crown Bit

The crown bit is a two-piece unit permanently connected together. The upper part is welded to the casing, and the lower part, which has Tungsten Carbide is free to rotate with the driver bit.

Square Bit

The drill through bit is specially shaped to pass through the crown’s flats, and to drill the sub-casing hole to a maximum hole diameter, enabling in most of the cases, the use of a larger diameter hammer than the competition.

  • Impact zone: Direct energy from the hammer is transferred to the crown bit through two (2) recesses formed by the locking surface plus another contact zone all around the periphery of the driver (donut).
  • Evacuation: Two (2) big air holes are drilled in the face of the bit (drilling end). Those holes are directly connected to two (2) large flushing air ways, this transfer the drill debris from the drilling end of the driver up in the casing. To help the evacuation of debris, two (2) smaller air holes in the flushing air ways, gives the cuttings some velocity.

This model also comes with a “rotational-crusher zone”. That protective zone is placed at the end of the flushing air ways, just under the hammer spline drive. This zone (patent pending) is to improve the evacuation by preventing accumulation of rocks and gravel at a recess point. By turning the driver against a fix casing, the rock is crushed in smaller particles and then evacuated through the casing.
