CASING SHOES
Foremost Casing Shoe
The Casing Shoe (also known as a Ring Bit) is a carbide-studded shoe, welded onto the lead piece of casing, thus converts your casing into a drill string. The ring style shoe cuts through boulders and hard formations as the casing rotates. This shoe (a.k.a. ring bit) enables the Dual Rotary drill to seat casing into bedrock. It is important to note that common casing shoes used with the DR system are designed to have the same inside diameter as the casing I.D. Consequently, there is no reduction in the borehole diameter when switching to open hole drilling. The outside diameter of the ring bit is typically 5/8 inch larger than the casing O.D. for reduced friction on the outer wall of the casing.

features
Casing shoes are available in light duty, standard duty, and heavy duty, and are distinguished by the number and shape of the carbide buttons.
Carbide-studded casing shoe enables the casing to be rotated through boulders without the need for under-reaming or blasting. As casing deflection is minimized, the hole remains straight.
Foremost carries a wide variety of inventory.
Custom casing shoes can be made to meet special requirements ask your Foremost sales representative for more information.
