The Drilling Type Underreamer is designed to run in conjunction with a drill bit or a bullnose depending on pilot hole condition or project objectives. The tool’s three retractable cutting arms are opened and held in position by continuous hydraulic pressure. The three arm design allows the pilot hole diameter to be increased up to 75 percent depending on tool size. Cutters are retracted by disengaging the pump, allowing the tool to be repositioned for selective underreaming operations or retrieval from the well. Piston spring assists with arm retraction following interruption of hydraulic pressure.
