Today Atlas Rock Bit Service has a full time work force of twenty-four employees. The office and warehouses are located in southern Oklahoma City with close proximity to Will Rogers World Airport. In addition to the main facilities Atlas has agents in Montrose, Colorado ( Rocky Mountains ) and Williston, North Dakota ( Williston Basin ). The sales force at Atlas consists of Mike Waitman, Michael Waitman, Matt Waitman and Ben Irvin. The sales staff has a combined sales experience, in the rock bit industry, of over 110 years. When you call Atlas to speak to someone in sales, you will speak with a knowledgeable sales person, not someone reading you a quote from a price list. There are many companies in the rock bit industry, that claim to have the largest inventory, or be the largest buyer of material. Atlas Rock Bit does not make any of these claims, but does welcome anyone to visit the facilities and make their own comparisons of Atlas' inventory and the inventory of any other company in the world. Atlas has bits in sizes from 2 7/8 to 36. In most sizes Atlas has a good inventory in both mill tooth and tungsten carbide insert bits. The inventory consists of new surplus, rerun and rebuilt bits. Atlas Rock Bit has new bits manufactured by all four of the major companies ( Hughes, Smith, Reed and Security ) as well as the smaller bit companies and from foreign manufacturers. In the rerun and rebuilt bits Atlas also has all types and name brands, including many typesthat are no longer in production. The bits that are selected to be repaired and retipped are only good quality dull bits with good bearings. Only the highest quality materials are used to repair or retip these bits. IN 1988, Atlas purchased from Drilco, their SW3 and SW6 line of hole openers. As a result of this acquisition Atlas Rock Bit has an excellent supply of factory hole openers available for rental or sale at all times. In addition to the factory hole openers, any size and type of split bit hole opener can be built to your specifications. The body can be made any length with boxes and pins of any size. Atlas Rock Bit Service has been active in the international market, since 1981. The world has gotten much smaller due to new communication technology i. e. fax machines and the Internet. The international department at Atlas Rock Bit has become a very vital part of our business and a very active player in the worldwide market. Atlas purchases as well as sells bits and hole openers on five continents and will travel anywhere to look at new surplus or used bits, if the quantity is enough to warrant the trip.
