    Any Help on Selling a PDC Drill Bit

    Does anyone have any knowledge on where I could sell a PDC drill bit, the kind used on a drilling rig? I was given one as payment and I don't know where to begin looking to get rid of it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    7 7/8" hole? Is it brand new? What about contacting some drilling companies in your area?

      It is a 12 1/4" Stellite body bit. It is brand new. Only company I know of around me is Hycalog, and I don't know if they would buy a bit since they make them.

              Be careful. A lot of bits are just leased to drilling companies and are returned when used.

                  I've known the guy that gave it to me for years, I can guarantee it's not stolen.

                          He own a drilling or bit company and using product to pay debts? Anyone else wouldn't have a new bit like that laying around for looks.

                            He did, I used to work there. The company went bankrupt and he didn't have the money to cover my pay.

                              it just depends what kind of bit it is. PDC bits have been made for a long time, and they're bought and sold frequently, especially from over sea markets. It's a sales market over seas, it's a rental market in the states. we have like 87 people on this board that work/worked in the drill bit industry I think. LOL
