EARTH REMOVAL MEMBER WITH FEATURES FOR FACILITATING DRILL 5 Embodiments of the present invention generally relate to an earth removal member (1) with features for facilitating drill-through. In one embodiment, an earth removal member (1) for drilling a wellbore with casing or liner includes a tubular body (5) and a head (10). The head (10) is fastened to or formed with an end of the body (5), has a face (1Of) and a side (lOg), is made from a high strength material, and has a port 1o (1Op) formed through the face (10f). The earth removal member further includes a blade (15a,15b). The blade (15a,15b) is formed on the head (10), extends from the side (10g) and along the face (10f), and is made from the high strength material. The earth removal member further includes cutters (20) disposed along the blade (1 5a, I 5b); and a nozzle adapter (450). The nozzle adapter (450) has a port (450p) formed therethrough, is is longitudinally and rotationally coupled to the head (10), and is made from a drillable material. The earth removal member further includes a nozzle (100) disposed in the adapter port (4 50p) and fastened to the nozzle adapter (450). K1 5a 20 lOf 15r 15b lot 1op 1og
