What are the main upgraded design features?
Key upgrades include simplified in-field service with bolted-on wing and wear pads, and a patented saddle design for better material clearing in the cutter pocket. The cutter itself is equipped with a tougher carbide grade, a steeper cone angle on the shell allowing for less skidding and carbide damage, as well as an improved bearing design and more heat-tolerant grease.

What benefits will this bring for my slot hole drilling?
The results from the product testing confirms lower cost of drilling and major time savings with improved ROP and simplified maintenance. All components are bolted on and replaceable when worn, so local in-field servicing is possible, and the reduction of transportation costs and emissions are evident. A positive safety impact is the minimized operator exposure due to fewer cutter changes and less handling of the equipment over time.
Both our up and down Ø740 reamers also utilize identical spare part components as far as practically possible, and this sufficiently reduces inventory demands when you plan to drill with both reamers.
