According to structural characteristics of dual-effect strong side-cut window bit (hereinafter referred to as window bit) and the theory of metal cutting and the rule of teeth arrangement of window bit, a cutting mechanical model of window bit cutting teeth is established, window bit geometric equations deduced and the solution of the cutter cutting mechanical model completed; finally, the casing window experiment is conducted with the dual-effect strong side-cut window bit developed to verify the accuracy of the cutting mechanical calculation model and the simulation results. The results show that the variation tendency of the main cutting force of the bit and the experimental data are similar in the windowing process, the simulation results can accurately reflect the change rule of the main cutting force and the requirements of engineering applications are basically met. The research results of this article provide theoretical basis for the analysis and calculation of the cutting force of the window bit and can serve as a reference for the design of deep/ultra-deep well casing window bits and cutting mechanics research.
