Numa will also display the Super Jaws® Under Reaming Bits. Capable of drilling holes from 5-7/8 to 34-7/8 inches (150- 886 mm) in diameter, Super Jaws® is a special under reaming wing bit design made for simultaneously setting casing while drilling in unconsolidated rock formations of boulders and loose strata. It has been widely accepted in the construction/foundation industry as the most efficient means of installing casing due to its ability to deliver improved performance and faster penetration over many traditional casing methods. Over the years, the Super Jaws® Bit has become recognized around the world for its robust construction, ease of operation and overall efficiency.  A significant cost savings benefit of the Super Jaws® Bit is that it does not require the use of replacement ring bits that remain down the hole when drilling is complete.

Numa is a major manufacturer of down hole hammers and bits for the international drilling industry. The company designs and builds down hole hammers and bits for drilling vertical and horizontal holes 3-1/2 to 43 inches (89 - 1092 mm) in diameter.
