Abstract
A device may include a body having a longitudinal axis. A device may include a deployable steering pad radially movable relative to the body, wherein the deployable steering pad has a retracted state defining a retracted radius from the longitudinal axis and a deployed state defining a deployed radius from the longitudinal axis. A device may include a kicker plate connected to the body longitudinally adjacent to the deployable steering pad, wherein the kicker plate has a kicker radius from the longitudinal axis greater than the retracted radius. A device may include a cutting element positioned on the kicker plate and defining a cutting radius between the retracted radius and the deployed radius.
