Abstract
The rolling cutter or stabilizer member of a rotary drill string unit is effectively locked in place by a locking device. The device allows the cutter or stabilizer member to carry radial, tangential and axial loads. A support member includes a surface positioned perpendicular to the resultant of the expected radial load and tangential load. A support shaft includes a slabbed-off surface positioned perpendicular to the resultant of said resultant loads and said axial load.
