  • Mill catch mechanism
    Patent number: 10352108
    Abstract: Systems, tools, and methods include using a milling assembly with a catch mechanism configured to maintain a connection between the drill string and the mill in the event a primary connection between the mill and catch mechanism fails. A primary connection may support the weight of the mill by using a connection between the drill string and the mill. The catch mechanism may operate as a back-up or redundant connection and may support the weight of the mill by coupling the catch mechanism to both the mill and the drill string.
