American Augers BULLDOG Reamer
American Augers BULLDOG reamer is a 3-fluted cone shaped semi-compactor that is excellent for compactable soils and survives in intermittent rock. Benefits include: lots of replaceable jets for pressure tuning and easy repair of “washed out” jets; perimeter flow creates a complete slurry rather than stirring dry material; several carbide teeth make to small cuttings and to survive if a tooth is lost; and carbide-chip wear surfaces to extend the life of the tool. The BULLDOG is made of a heat treated 4140 aircraft alloy one piece shaft for excellent thread life and abrasion resistance, and tungsten carbide with cobalt added to resist, cracking and extend the life of the cutters.
