In columns 1 and 2 a linear scale of 0 ---> 8 is used to describe the condition of the cutting structure according to the following guidelines for specific bit types.
G - Gauge row
Insert bits
Measures total cutting structure reduction of lost, worn, & or broken inserts 0 - No lost worn and / or broken inserts 8 - 0% of inserts and / or cutting structure remaining.
Measure of lost tooth height due to abrasion and / or damage 0 - No lost, worn and / or broken cutting structure 8 - 100% of cutting structure lost, worn and / or broken
Sealed bearings E - Seals effective F - Seals failed N - Not able to grade X - Fixed cutter bit

Water based muds: aim for 4-8 HSI, jet velocities 350-550ft/sec Oil based muds: 3-6 HSI, jet velocities 250-450ft/sec >17 1/2" holes : minimum jet velocities must be attained <17 1/2" hole : 35-50% HHP @ bit. (consider formations to be drilled.) <12 1/4" hole more HSI, up to 65% at bit.
