Abstract
Apparatus and associated methods of using same provide ease of forming an opening through a laterally extending liner to thereby provide access to a portion of a parent wellbore across which the liner extends. In a preferred embodiment, a milling guide has a guide profile formed thereon for directing a cutting tool to contact the liner. The milling guide is cooperatively engageable with an anchor to axially and radially align the guide profile with a portion of the liner which extends across the parent wellbore.
