Reaming shells are some of the most popular metalwork tools available in the market, they are used for keeping the bore diameter and stability of drilling. These hole drilling, enlargement and stabilization tools are constructed for varying application but perform basic functions. Tungsten carbide reaming shells are suitable for the strata of soft and medium-hardness, when drilling the soft to medium hard formations, because of the low price of tungsten carbide reaming shells, it is more economical and low-cost than surface set diamond reaming shells, and pcd reaming shells.

Tungsten carbide reaming shells can be produced in a cheap way making them a good to material for players in the mining industry. Overall, the main strength of TC bits is definitely the fact that they are cost effective. Tungsten carbide is the compound used to make reaming shell. It has many uses but it is mostly known for its vital application in drilling. Owing to its numerous merits and properties, it is an ideal compound when it comes to drilling rocks.

Reaming shells have various other minor features included for ergonomics, safety and precision. However, these tools are basically designed to withstand the boring conditions and facilitate aforementioned applications (drilling, enlargement, stabilization). The type of reaming shell chosen will depend on boring requirements, rock abrasives and hardness. The reaming shells should always be placed behind the core bit. However, they can also be placed on other positions across the strings of the drill. The core barrel can also be stabilized by placing a second shell across the other side of the outer tube.

Shell reamers come in various sizes and construction for different application areas. Our reamers are used for high intensity boring that require more force, precision drilling and heightened stability. As the name suggests, these tools are used for reaming holes and feature advanced technologies ranging from gauge monitoring and measurement to calculation of angular deviation. Reaming shells feature high intensity environment construction and are used for drilling through bearings with straight precision. They prevent angular deviation of holes especially for deep-hole drilling situations. Wireline core barrels have reaming shells as the most important parts and they are designed to maintain the drilling diameter. This way, the size and direction of the hole is kept consistent and precise respectively.
