The 16" Fly Cutter HDD Reamer with built-in 30T swivel is engineered for large-diameter horizontal directional drilling applications in medium to hard soil, cobble, and soft rock conditions. Rated for 30T pull force and compatible with all major HDD drill string thread connections via the included universal thread adapter, this fly cutter directional drilling reamer delivers aggressive cutting action and reliable bore enlargement on the most demanding trenchless construction jobsites including large pipeline installations, municipal utility bores, industrial conduit runs, and infrastructure projects requiring oversized bore diameters in challenging ground.

The fly cutter reamer design provides superior cutting performance in harder ground conditions where fluted reamers are not sufficient, using its aggressive blade configuration to break through medium to hard soil, gravel, cobble, and soft rock formations while maintaining effective drilling fluid circulation throughout the annular space. The integrated 30T swivel eliminates pipe rotation during product pipe pullback, protecting the pipe and drill string from torsional stress and ensuring a smooth, controlled pullback on long and demanding bore paths in difficult ground.

The 16" diameter makes this reamer well suited for product pipes ranging from 10" to 12" in outer diameter, consistent with the standard HDD industry practice of selecting a reamer at approximately 1.5x the pipe OD. The 30T pull force rating and universal thread adapter make this reamer compatible with mid-to-large frame HDD drill rigs including Vermeer D80x100, Vermeer D100x120, Ditch Witch JT60, Ditch Witch JT100, Toro TDD8020, American Augers DD-90, and other machines capable of delivering the required pull force and drilling fluid flow rates for large-diameter bores in hard soil and rock formations.
