Abstract
Downhole cutting tools comprise a mandrel, a housing, a sleeve and a cutting blade. The mandrel comprises an inner wall surface defining a bore, and an outer wall surface. The housing is secured to the outer wall surface of the mandrel and comprises an opening. The sleeve is engaged with the outer wall surface of the mandrel. The sleeve comprises a profile that is operatively associated with a profile of the cutting blade such that movement of the sleeve causes the profile of the piston to slide along the profile of the cutting blade. In so doing, the cutting blade is radially extended outward through the opening in the housing to abrade an object located outside the housing. Movement of the sleeve can be achieved by pumping fluid down a bore in the mandrel to slide the sleeve long the outer wall surface of the mandrel.
