Vermeer introduces the Bit Boss™ shoulder screw retention system, an innovative upgrade designed to enhance bit security in horizontal directional drilling (HDD) operations. The Bit Boss system adds three strategically located shoulder screws to the existing 6-bolt design, helping significantly increase the bit’s resistance to shearing off during operation. This advancement offers HDD crews optimal bit security in changing and challenging soil conditions.
The Bit Boss system offers versatility through its compatibility with various Vermeer drilling systems, including the Vermeer Ultra X3. This flexibility allows operators to utilize the Bit Boss system across different equipment in their fleet.
