Abstract
An apparatus for removing at least a section of a tubular includes an axially elongated body configured to be advanced through an inner tubular in a borehole to a selected location, the inner tubular disposed within an outer tubular in the borehole and having a diameter that is less than a diameter of the outer tubular. The apparatus also includes a cutter configured to be actuated between a closed position in which the cutter is disposed within the body and an open position in which the cutter extends radially, the cutter having a length sufficient to engage and cut the outer tubular, the cutter configured to be advanced in an axial cutting direction as the outer tubular is cut. The apparatus further includes an automatic stabilization member disposed on the cutter, the stabilization member configured to restrict lateral movement of the cutter by contacting the outer tubular during cutting.
