Abstract

Apparatus for milling a well casing (15) comprising an elongate guide member (1) having a leading end and a trailing end, the guide member having defined thereon a guide track (23) which, in the use position of the guide member, converges with the well casing to be milled from the trailing end of the guide member towards the leading end thereof. A
support member (4) is selectively movable along the guide track in the direction from the trailing end towards the leading end of the guide member to converge with the well casing to be milled.
A milling tool (5) has a leading end rotatably supported by the support member (4) and includes milling means (6) located rearwardly of its leading end. A releasable coupling initially maintaining the support member (4) and leading end of the milling tool adjacent the trailing end of the guide member and is releasable to permit movement of the support member (4) along the guide track towards the leading end of the guide member to bring the milling means into milling engagement with the casing to be milled.
