Patent attributes
A drilling tool for drilling a wellbore in a formation includes a drill bit including a plurality of blades and a machined connection disposed on the drill bit. Each of the plurality of blades includes a gauge having a length and an angle. The machined connection is configured to allow attachment of a plurality of machined rings to the plurality of blades. The plurality of machined rings are configured to form the length and the angle of each gauge based on number and type of each machined ring attached. The drill bit is configured to operate in different formations based on the gauge of each of the plurality of blades. The drilling tool is redesigned by removal or addition of one or more of the machined rings based at least in part on a modified length and a modified angle configured in view of a characteristic of the wellbore.
