Roller GunDRILL Reamer® Features:

PDC Cutters on leading and
trailing blades of the RGDR
enable efficient reaming in or PDC cutting structure placed on the
back-reaming out of the leading edge of the blade. Cutting
hole. structure starts near the tool body
diameter and extends to just below the
tool gage diameter.
Note: Cutters can also be placed on the
back of the blades for added durability.

Roller cutters at full gage diameter ream

the hole and provide an excellent torque
signature. High level of TCI coverage and
sealed bearings ensure long life for the
system.
Large junk slot area allows for plenty of bypass
area for cuttings even in high ROP applications
