  • METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR LOCKING EXPANDABLE CUTTERS OF WELL BORE CASING MILL
    Publication number: 20220025727
    Abstract: A casing mill for downhole casing milling has multiple elongated cutter bases hingedly connected to a main body by a plurality of positioning arms. An operating mechanism within the main body of the casing mill, actuated by fluid flow, moves the cutter bases to an extended position. Multiple cutters fixed to the cutter bases are then positioned to engage a casing surface. An internal fluid operated locking mechanism can be selectively actuated to secure the cutter bases in an extended position.
