This series of built-in Swivels is designed to act as a replacement for the original swivel fitted to reamers manufactured by the leading OEMs.

Several OEMs offer reamers with a pocket to mount a bolt flange style swivel, others offer reamers with a female threaded pocket to mount a screw in swivel which is then secured with a hexagon collar. However, swivels are not their leading product, Directional Drilling machines are.

DCD Design & Manufacturing is in the business of designing and building swivels and the products shown on this page all offer substantial improvements over the OEM product.
