Abstract

A method of designing a roller cone bit is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of:
  • calculating the trajectory of at least one tooth on each cone through formation material at the cutting face; and
  • jointly optimising both the orientations of said teeth and the width of uncut rings on said cutting face, in dependence on said trajectory.
