A downhole cutting tool for use in a wellbore, the cutting tool having a mandreland a cylindrical knife body slidably mounted coaxially on the mandrel. The mandrel can be attached to or suspended from any type of workstring. The upper ends of a plurality of knife blades are pivotably mounted at fixed points on the knife body. The knife blades are suspended therefrom over a plurality of ramps formed on the exterior of the mandrel. A pressure chamber is formed between the knife body and the mandrel. Fluid from the work string can be directed through the mandrel to the pressure chamber, to drive the knife body downwardly relative to the mandrel, causing the lower ends of the knife blades to contact the ramps on the mandrel and kick or pivot outwardly to cause the lower tip of the blade to contact the downhole material to be cut. As the mandrel is rotated, the knife blades rotate with it and cut into the material. The point at which the lower end of the blade contacts the ramp is a fulcrum point which is closer to the lower tip of the blade than to the upper end of the blade. This creates a mechanical advantage causing the lower tip of the blade to be more forcefully urged into the material to be cut.

Cette invention concerne un outil de forage de fond de trou qui comprend un mandrin et cylindre porte-couteaux à montage coulissant coaxial sur le mandrin. Le mandrin peut être fixé ou suspendu à n'importe quel type de train de tiges. Une pluralité de lames de couteau sont articulées par leur extrémité supérieure en des points fixes du cylindre porte-couteaux. Les lames y sont suspendues au-dessus d'une série de rampes formées sur la surface extérieure du mandrin. Une chambre de pression est ménagée entre le cylindre porte-couteaux et le mandrin. Un fluide de forage provenant du train de tiges peut être acheminé dans la chambre de pression en passant par le mandrin afin de pousser le cylindre porte-couteaux vers le bas par rapport au mandrin, forçant ainsi les lames à entrer en contact avec les rampes du mandrin et se projeter vers l'extérieur de manière que leur pointe inférieure attaque la formation à forer. En tournant, le mandrin impartit aux lames un mouvement de rotation par lequel elles entaillent la formation. Le point où les lames touchent la rampe est plus proche de leur pointe que de leur extrémité supérieure et constitue un point d'appui créant un effet de levier en vertu duquel la pénétration de la formation se fait avec une force accrue.
