A drill bit, including a bit body having an outer surface, a cutter pocket defined in the bit body, and a dam disposed about the cutter pocket and proud of the outer surface.

Drill bit, method, and system

A method of performing a well bore operation in a well bore includes connecting a window mill to a whipstock connector forming a tubular section, supporting a tool below the whipstock connector, running the window mill, the whipstock connector, and the tool into the well bore, and axially loading the tool to perform the well bore operation.

Window mill and whipstock connector for a resource exploration and recovery system

A window cutting system includes a window mill having a body including a connector member, a tip portion, and a plurality of blades arranged between the connector member and the tip portion. Each of the plurality of blades supports a plurality of cutting elements. A lug pocket is formed in at least one of the plurality of blades adjacent the plurality of cutting elements. A whipstock connector detachably coupled to the window mill. The whipstock connector including an outer surface and an inner surface, and at least one lug projecting radially inwardly from the inner surface. The at least one lug is selectively received by the lug pocket to connect the whipstock connector to the window mill.
