Drilling Tools --- Reaming Shell

May 27, 2026

Reaming shell (reamer), a key wireline core drilling tool widely applied in geological exploration, mineral mining and water well drilling, serves to enlarge borehole diameter, maintain hole gauge, stabilize hole walls and guarantee straight, smooth drilling. 
Mounted above the core barrel, it reams holes to the specified size during coring and shields the core barrel and drill bit against wear and deviation. 
Our diamond reaming shell adopts premium diamond particles and robust alloy base, boasting outstanding wear resistance, high concentricity and reliable drilling performance. 
It effectively corrects hole deviation, ensures steady advancement of core drill rods, greatly boosts drilling efficiency and prolongs the service life of the whole drilling tool set.
