Abstract
A downhole tool for forming a wellbore includes a plurality of jets configured to flow a main flow of a flow of drilling fluid out of the downhole tool along a main flow path. The downhole tool includes a plurality of main valves in fluid communication with the plurality of jets along the main flow path and being actuatable to control the main flow through the plurality of jets. The downhole tool further includes a control valve in fluid communication with the plurality of main valves along a control flow path and configured to direct the control flow selectively to the plurality of main valves to selectively actuate the plurality of main valves based on a selective mechanical input to the control valve. The downhole tool further includes a mechanical input mechanism for providing the selective mechanical input to the control valve.
