The at least one articulatingcutter configured to beselectively moved between a stowed position and a radially extended position.The at leastone articulating cutter is configured to create a wedge-shaped recess within abone when inthe radially extended position and when the tool is rotated. A diameter of abottom openingof the recess is larger than a diameter of a surface opening of the recess.
