Summary:A milling tool includes a cutting block in a recess in a tool body. The cutting block is configured to extend radially outward from and retract radially inward toward the tool body. The milling tool further includes a milling blade in a recess or cut-out in the cutting block. The milling blade is configured to extend radially outward from and inwards toward the cutting block. One or more links may couple the milling blade to the tool body to cause the milling blade to move radially relative to the cutting block when the cutting block moves radially relative to the tool body. The milling tool may be used as a dual string section mill to remove any of an inner casing, an outer casing, or cement between the inner and outer casings.
