Detail Of Reaming Shells

Standard Features

  • Full-matrix body gauge ring cast onto a steel-tool body for maximum strength and tool integrity
  • Spiral waterway canals that clear bit cuttings effectively, while maintaining full 360-hole contact with the matrix body gauge ring
  • Gauge ring setting combining a mechanically-rounded P3 Grade natural drill diamond of 20 to 35 stones per carat with seismic-grade, tungsten-carbide wear pads cast to be tough and abrasion-resistant

Available Options

  • Hard metal strips armour-coating the steel tool body
  • Synthetic material replacing the natural P3 grade diamond if potential contamination by natural diamond crystals is a concern.
