Abstract
An embodiment of a cutting tool positionable in a tubular for creating a cut in a tubular includes a body securable within the tubular and a cutting head having a nozzle for discharging a pressurized cutting fluid, wherein the cutting head is rotationally and axially moveable relative to the body. The cutting tool may further include one or more of a positioning mechanism, a linear actuator in connection with the cutting head, a rotary actuator in connection with the cutting head, a cutting fluid pump, a mechanism for mixing a fluid and an abrasive to form the abrasive cutting fluid, and reservoirs for storing the abrasive cutting fluid or for storing a fluid and the abrasive separately.
