A plurality of cutter bits are carried by said body and protrude substantially radially from said periphery and have free ends. Said cutter bits are arranged in a plurality of groups which are spaced in the direction of said axis. The free ends of the cutter bits of each of said groups define a circle. The circles defined by the free ends of the cutter bits of said groups increase in diameter in one direction along said axis.
