Description
Atlas Rock Bit Service began operations in 1972. In the beginning there were only Mike Waitman, Tom Waitman and their father, O.E. Waitman. Operations began in a small barn, near Tuttle, Oklahoma. The company was incorporated in 1974. 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.
