Reaming / Stabilizing

The products in this group are used to:

Ream drill holes to industry standard gauge sizes,
Stabilize rotating drill string components to control the angular deviation of the drill hole.

Reaming tools and stabilizing tools are distinguished by the type of hard material that has been embedded in the tool’s matrix-body ring. Reaming tools are typically set with synthetic diamond (a cutting material) as opposed to stabilizing tools that are typically set with tungsten-carbide (a non-cutting material).

The specific products in this group include:

For Reaming: Reaming shells and back-end reamers,
For Stabilizing: Adapter couplings, locking couplings and in-line drill rod stabilizers.

Stabilizing Tools

Adapter couplings, locking couplings and in-line drill rod stabilizers for deep-hole and straight-hole drilling applications.

Accessories

Service limit field gauges for reaming shells, inner tube (core tube) extensions and reaming shell substitutes.

Reaming Tools

Dimatec RS-5 reaming shells in standard and extended length configurations for all standard core barrel systems. Dimatec RS-5 back-end reamers for target drilling applications.
