Abstract

An hydraulic drive apparatus for use in downhole tools is described. The apparatus provides rotational and translational movement to a cutting tool element disposed in a downhole tool or sonde automatically adjusting advancing motion of the cutting tool to the rate of rotational movement or cutting. The apparatus is controllable from the surface through a wireline and is capable of operating in various modes to facilitate unjamming.
