ABSTRACT:
A drill bit assembly includes a driver adapted for attachment to a down hole pneumatic hammer. A pilot bit is coupled to the driver in a manner permitting rotational and axial movement between driver and pilot bit. A series of underreamer arms are disposed intermediate the driver and the pilot bit and engage a centrally disposed cam block on the pilot bit. Pivot pins of the underreamer arms are journaled in and move with the driver during partial rotation of the driver during arm deployment and retraction. Passageways in the driver and pilot bit direct compressed air to the working surface of the bit for discharging particles upwardly through channels in the bit and driver. Inclined surfaces on the underreaming arms cooperate with the lower end of a casing to contribute to are retraction prior to removal of the assembly through the casing.
