Mechanical Internal Cutter

Internal cutter is a down-hole mechanical cutting tool designed to cut casings,tubings and drill pipes.The main advantages are its simple structure,reliable performance and high cutting efficiency.In order not to cut the casing and tubing couplings,the cutter shall be kept away from these couplings during operation.Depending on drilling conditions,it can be used in conjunction with coupling locator to locate the position of the nearest coupling from the cutter.When the internal cutter is used with the releasing spear,it can cut and remove the cut tubing inone fishing operation.Alter natively,a separate fishing tool can be used to remove cut pieces.

Working Principle

Lower the internal cutter to a designated cutting depth,rotate (3 rounds) the cutter mandrel in the clockwise direction

to separate the sliding sleeve and the sliding sheet.At this instance,with the spring effect,the friction block will be pressed 

against the pipe wall.In addition,due to the engagement of the sliding sleeve and sheet,the main center body and the 

slip portion is pushed upwards along the tapered slip cone,expanding the slip diameter.As the slip diameter expands,

it bites on the internal wall of the drill pipe.At this moment,anchor the cutter on the pipe wall and lift the cutter mandrel

by 10mm.After which,slowly lower and rotate mandrel,as the cutters (3 pcs) move down the tapered cutter block,it open 

up radially to cut the pipe wall.

The cutting operation is completed when the mandrel pressed against the end of the thrustring.Lift the mandrel to release 

and reposition the cutters via its own weight and the function ofthe blade spring.As the mandrel is lifted,the sliding sleeve 

and sheet re-engage back to its original position.In addition,as the tapered slip cone moves upwards,the slip loses its grip

 on the pipe wall and the cutter releases its anchor on the wall.Continue to lift mandrel until the locating ring engages with 

the guide nut before pulling the tool out.
