Abstract:
A method of cutting a tubular includes disposing a rotatable cutter assembly in the tubular, the cutter assembly including a blade having a cutting portion; engaging the tubular using a trailing cutting structure of the cutting portion; engaging the tubular using an intermediate cutting structure of the cutting portion; forming a window in the tubular; and longitudinally extending the window using a leading cutting structure of the cutting portion. A rotatable blade includes a blade body extendable from a retracted position; and a cutting portion on the blade body having: a trailing cutting structure configured to engage the tubular, an intermediate cutting structure configured to engage the tubular while the trailing cutting structure engages the tubular, a leading cutting structure configured to engage an exposed wall thickness of the tubular; and an integral stabilizer disposed on at least a portion of an outer surface of the blade body.
