DRILLNOVA / CORE BARRELS
Core barrels
Compare the cutting configurations.
Start with roller bits or bullet teeth. Review the cutting arrangement, then specify a complete barrel, a cutting ring or replacement parts.
Choose a cutting configuration
Both form an annular cut around the rock core. Compare the cutters and mounting, then review the fabrication and assembly details for each configuration.
Compare the two configurations
Compare the complete cutting arrangement. Similar barrel dimensions alone do not confirm that the cutting parts are interchangeable.
Roller-bit barrel

- Cone movement, insert and leg damage, scrapers and guide condition.
