DOWNHOLE CUTTING TOOL
A tool for reaming a borehole includes a tubular body (101) having a central axis, an uphole reamer section (110) mounted to the body, and a downhole reamer section (130) mounted to the body. Each reamer section includes a first blade extending radially from the body. Each blade has an uphole end, a downhole end opposite the uphole end, and a formation-facing surface. The formation facing surface of the first blade of the uphole reamer section is disposed at a radius R1 that increases moving from the uphole end to the downhole end. The formation facing surface of the first blade of the downhole reamer section is disposed at a radius R1' that decreases moving from the uphole end to the downhole end. The tool also includes a cutter element mounted to the formation facing surface of the first blade of each reamer section.
