Taper Mill

Taper Mills

Taper mills are generally used to eliminate restrictions or to mill through “pinched” or collapsed casing. They are equipped with a tapered or a short blunt nose which serves as a guide. Smith offers a CP taper mill or a CT taper mill.

CP Taper Mill Designed for the Toughest Taper Mill Job

The CP taper mill features a blunt-nose design that makes it useful in those taper milling applications where the possibility of using a longer tapered nose might break. The CP mill generates considerably less torque than a conventional taper mill because of its shorter taper section. Because of this low-torque feature, the CP mill can be run with more weight when necessary.

CT Taper Mill Perfect for Milling Restrictions

The CT taper mill was designed for milling through restrictions. The spiral blades and the pointed nose make the CT ideal for reaming out collapsed casing and liners, cleaning up permanent whipstock windows, milling through jagged or split shoes and enlarging restrictions through retainers and adapters.
