I work at a manufacturing plant who produces the bits so I know a few things about them.
On the three cone rock bits they start out as forged steel then heat treated to make It very hard.

If you see little buttons on the "cones" those are tungsten carbine. But you will spend more on the process of getting those out than they are worth.

All of them will have hard facing of tungsten carbine placed in strategic locations. No way to get that off either.

I can answer any thing you want to know about them.( as long as it's not against work rules)
I have worked there 21 years and my dad has for 43 years. It's one of the largest and oldest and best drill bit manufactures in the world.

Looking to buy used drill bits. Any size

Come on someone has to have some drill bits they want to get rid of.
 

If they can be rebuilt sell them to a drill bit rebuilder.

if they are 12 to 16 inch and like new check with water well drillers.

If smaller then 12 inch and in good shape check with non oil field mineral exploration drilling companies.

If around 6 inch check with drilling companies that do open pit blast drilling
 

If you ever collect any carbide scrap, I'd be interested in purchasing it from you. Paying top dollar. No limit. Please email me at [email protected] for more information.
 

Do you have any tricone drill bits for sale for cheap/scrap price?

Good day everyone,

Does anyone have any tricone drill bits for sale at a scrap/cheap price?
They would need to look ok, with two or more cones easily turned by hand since I will use them for display purposes only. It would be fine if a couple steel teeth were broke off, or a few of the carbide inserts were missing.
I worked in a plant cutting cones and heads for over a decade, and would like to have a few "show pieces" of various types and sizes to explain what I once labored over.
From Texas,
Thank you very much.

I found three "small" ones. They look like the bore holes about 5" or 6" in diameter and stand only 8" or so, tall. Nothing broken. Any idea what they could be worth?

Thanks,
Bill

Make that a total of 6 of this small size. Found three more at a flea market for $5 each. As a "miniature oil field bit", I'm thinking that these will sell for $15 each. Any idea?

i still have a few that i would be willing to part with, look to be in decent shape. cant believe this thread is still so close to the top of the page!
 

I had a rebuilt tri cone that no one but a scrap yard would take.
I tried to sell it too drilling companies

It was like brand new and still had the re-builders paint on it.

The problem is they all have a serial number on them plus a re-builders number.

I found the bit at a mine that had been drilled 15 years before and i had a lease on the mine.
