Inkampani manje isingakwazi ukukhiqiza amashidi ayinhlanganisela angewona amapulani anobunjwa obuhlukene kanye nokucaciswa okuhlukile njengohlobo lwe-wedge, uhlobo lwekhoni engunxantathu (uhlobo lwephiramidi), uhlobo lwekhoni encishisiwe, uhlobo lweMercedes-Benz elingunxantathu, kanye nesakhiwo se-arc esiyisicaba. Ubuchwepheshe obuyinhloko beshidi le-polycrystalline diamond composite liyamukelwa, futhi isakhiwo esingaphezulu siyacindezelwa futhi sakhiwe, esinomkhawulo obukhali wokusika kanye nomnotho ongcono. Isetshenziswe kakhulu ezindaweni zokumba nezimayini ezifana nezingcezu zedayimane, izingcezu ze-roller cone, izingcezu zezimayini, kanye nemishini yokuchoboza. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, ifaneleka ngokukhethekile izingxenye ezithile zokusebenza ze-PDC drill bits, njengamazinyo ayinhloko/asizayo, amazinyo egeji eyinhloko, amazinyo omugqa wesibili, njll., futhi inconywa kakhulu izimakethe zasekhaya nezangaphandle.
