A support mechanism for a mill, particularly usable with a whipstock and driven by a downhole motor supported by coiled tubing is disclosed. The support mechanism comprises a wearable ring adjacent the cutting structure which, when assembled into the downhole assembly, keeps the rotating blades away from the whipstock face and oriented toward the casing to be cut. As the milling progresses, the support mechanism wears away to allow advancement of the mill into the casing to complete the formation of the window or opening.

Torque control device for downhole milling

An overshot cutter for suspension from coiled tubing that includes an elongate housing which includes a drive piston at the upper end with adjustable axial passage, an inner barrel there-below, and a cutter piston extending a collet cutter next below and finally a restrictor block; whereby the housing lower end is positioned down over a fish for hydraulic release of the drive piston to drive the inner barrel and cutter piston downward thereby to close the collet cutter within the restrictor block to cut the tubing below the fish.
