'~oi,o ~'SO~ Oi''"'~' 1 CUTTING INSERT AND MILLING TOOL FOR USE IN A WELLBORE
This invention relates to a cutting insert for a tool for wellbore milling operations.
Milling tools are used to cut out window or pockets from a tubular, e.g. for directional drilling and sidetracking; and to mill out for removal materials downhole in a wellbore, such as pipe, casing, casing liners, tubing, or jammed tools (a "fish").
Typically, the milling tool comprises a body on which are mounted a multiplicity of cutting inserts which cut away the unwanted material whilst being eroded themselves.
Because of the very high costs associated with running a drilling rig enormous effort is expended on improving cutting inserts either to increase longevity or to increase cutting rate or both.
The present invention addresses these problems.
According to the present invention there is provided a cutting insert for a tool for wellbore milling operations, the cutting insert comprising:
a body having a top;
a plurality of spaced-apart chipbreaking indentations in the top of the body;
and a strengthening ridge proj ecting from the top of the body between adj acent chipbreaking indentations of the plurality of spaced=apart chipbreaking indentations wherein said body has a lower curved edge and two upper curved edges.
The strengthening ridge helps to reduce or eliminate the propagation of cracks between adjacent chipbreaking indentations.
Preferably, said cutting insert further comprises a peripheral strengthening ridge around an outer edge of the top of the body surrounding the plurality of spaced-apart chipbreaking indentations.
