Summary: | A chip breaker for use in a fixed-cutter, rotary-type drill bit used in drilling subterranean formations is disclosed. The chip breaker includes a knife-like protrusion positioned proximate a cutting element and adjacent or in a fluid course defined by the drill bit body. As formation chips, shavings, or cuttings are generated during drilling, the chips move over the protrusion and are split or scribed by the protrusion. Drilling fluid breaks the split or scribed chips away from the surface of the fluid course adjacent the cutting element and transports them through the junk slots. Additionally, chip splitters may be positioned on ramped surfaces that further lift the formation chips away from the surface of the fluid course. |
