ABSTRACT:
A combined drill and underreamer tool capable of selectively drilling and underreaming a well hole on command, which includes a fluid distribution system wherein drilling mud under pressure is accumulated in a central chamber and from that central chamber a portion is distributed to the drill bit while another portion is distributed to the underreamer tool when that tool is operative, and, further, employing drilling mud under pressure to activate and deactivate the underreamer tool by selectively blocking and unblocking a fluid a passage thereto.
