What is a Fly Cutter Reamer?
A Fly Cutter Reamer is a versatile HDD back reamer designed to enlarge a pilot bore by cutting and removing material as it is pulled back through the hole.
Its open-frame design allows drilling fluids to circulate freely, helping to transport spoil away from the cutting face while maintaining a clean and stable bore. This makes Fly Cutter Reamers an excellent choice for a wide range of soil conditions where efficient cutting action and effective spoil removal are required.
Fly Cutter Reamers are commonly used as a general-purpose reamer and are one of the most popular tooling options for Horizontal Directional Drilling projects.
Why Choose a Fly Cutter Reamer?
Fly Cutter Reamers are one of the most versatile HDD back reamers available. Their open-frame design allows drilling fluid to flow freely through the tool while efficiently cutting and removing spoil from the bore. This makes them an excellent choice for mixed ground conditions where both cutting performance and bore cleaning are critical to a successful installation.
Benefits include:
- Excellent spoil removal
- Aggressive cutting action
- Performs well in mixed ground conditions
- Suitable for clay, sand and gravel
- Smooth pullback performance
- Improves drilling efficiency
- Heavy-duty Australian-made construction
- Long service life
- Available in standard and custom sizes
Their ability to perform across multiple ground types makes them an excellent choice for contractors working on varied drilling projects.
Suitable Ground Conditions
Fly Cutter Reamers perform exceptionally well in:
- Clay
- Sandy clay
