SYSTEM AND METHOD OF CONSTANT DEPTH OF CUT CONTROL OF DRILLING TOOLS

摘要

According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, a method of configuring a blade of a drill bit comprises determining a first desired depth of cut for a first radial swath associated with a bit face of a drill bit. The first radial swath is associated with a first area of the bit face. The method further comprises identifying a first plurality of cutting elements located on the bit face. Each of the cutting elements includes at least a portion located within the first radial swath. The method additionally comprises configuring a first blade surface of a blade. The first blade surface is located within the first radial swath and configured based on the first desired depth of cut for the first radial swath. The blade surface is also configured based on each portion of the first plurality of cutting elements located within the first radial swath.
