Subject: Re: Setting drill collars to length

From: "Bob_xyz" <bob_barr@...>

How much do the collars vary in thickness? Might it be workable to
add shims to make all of the collars the same thickness? Alternately,
could the thicker ones be lightly sanded to make them the same height
as the thin ones?

Regards, Bob
