2. Hole opener - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hole_opener

   A hole opener is a device used to enlarge the borehole during a well drilling operation. It can be positioned either above the drill bit or above a pilot run inside the existing borehole. Usages range from hydrocarbon drilling operations to water drilling or horizontal drilling.

3. Reamer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reamer

   Precision reamers are designed to enlarge the size of a previously formed hole by a small amount but with a high degree of accuracy to leave smooth sides. There are also non-precision reamers which are used for more basic enlargement of holes or for removing burrs. The process of enlarging the hole is called reaming.

4. Drill bit - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drill_bit

   The brad point drill bit (also known as lip and spur drill bit, and dowel drill bit) is a variation of the twist drill bit which is optimized for drilling in wood. Conventional twist drill bits tend to wander when presented to a flat workpiece. For metalwork, this is countered by drilling a pilot hole with a spotting drill bit.

5. Roller reamer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roller_reamer

   Roller reamer. Roller reamers are employed in boring operations for the oil & gas industry. The main function of roller reamers cut earth formations to enlarge the borehole to the desirable size during well drilling operation, which may be the original size of the drill bit in the case where the drill bit wears to be under-gauged.

6. Underreamer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underreamer

   An underreamer is a device used to enlarge the borehole below an existing casing or restriction, during a well drilling operation. It can be positioned either above the drill bit or above a pilot assembly run inside the existing borehole. Numerous designs exist, in sizes varying from a couple of inches to above 40".

7. Drilling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drilling

   Drilling is a cutting process where a drill bit is spun to cut a hole of circular cross-section in solid materials. The drill bit is usually a rotary cutting tool, often multi-point. The bit is pressed against the work-piece and rotated at rates from hundreds to thousands of revolutions per minute.
