Abstract
In accordance with some embodiments of the present disclosure, a method of configuring depth of cut controllers (DOCCs) of a drill bit comprises determining a primary depth of cut for a first radial swath. The first radial swath is associated with a first area of the bit face. The method further comprises configuring a primary DOCC for placement on the bit face within the first radial swath based on the primary depth of cut. In addition, the method comprises determining a back-up depth of cut for a second radial swath. The second radial swath is associated with a second area of the bit face that overlaps the first area of the bit face associated with the first radial swath. The method further comprises configuring a back-up DOCC for placement on the bit face within the second radial swath based on the back-up depth of cut.
