Well Miller® RCB
Reverse Circulating Bit
The Well Miller RCB (Reverse Circulating Bit) integrates both a rotary bit with a suction system to provide the combined benefits of both in one powerful tool.
This design breaks through obstacles, such as composite plugs, and recovers the generated cuttings with suction into the integrated bailers. In one and the same run you can mill such obstacles as composite plugs and remove them from the well to prevent further associated problems.

The Well Miller RCB (Reverse Circulating Bit) incorporates both a rotary system and a suction system that are combined for maximum efficiency.
This design breaks down hard debris and recovers the cuttings to the surface in the same run. Alternately a nozzle brush can be used instead of a bit to remove hard deposits from the walls of the tubular and retrieve them simultaneously.
