Wireline Rotary Cutter


8 Wireline Rotary Cutter

Wireline Rotary Cutter is used to cut the wireline when downhole tools become stuck. The cutter is run under its own weight guided by the wire. When the cutter strikes the tool, the shock is transmitted to the rotating knife, which shears the wire. The rotation of the knife pushes a tapered slip upwards to wedge the wire so that both the cutter and wire can be retrieved.
