Roller bits for
core barrels.
Compare weld-on and replaceable MH-series roller bits for bored-piling core barrels. Match the mounting to your tool, then confirm the drawing and supply scope with our team.
For round-shank cutting teeth and their holders, see bullet teeth & holders.

Start with the mounting.
Compare up to three models. Cone size alone does not confirm that a replacement will fit.
