Request a custom segment count. DMI will confirm the requested count and adjusted price before work begins.
Have a pile of worn core bits? Request a reusable DMI crate, fill it with DMI or competitor barrels, and send the load to our Roy, Utah factory by LTL freight. We inspect the full load and confirm the retip, exchange, or replacement disposition before work begins.
Request a Freight and Retip Crate Plan
For 2" through 5-1/2" barrels, retipping often is not the best value. After inspection, qualifying DMI or competitor barrels can be exchanged for a new DMI core bit at 25% off the current Pro price. DMI confirms eligibility and pricing before proceeding.
Every barrel is inspected on arrival. Warped tubes, cracked barrels, damaged threads or welds, or insufficient usable barrel length may make a tube unsuitable for re-tipping. When a tube is not serviceable, DMI will quote an exchange or new replacement before proceeding.
Turnaround: Scheduled after receipt and inspection. Contact DMI before sending pallet or crate freight.
