     BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     Field of the Invention 
     The present invention pertains to a seam ripping device for use in preparing a coiled tubing operation in a production well, such as, for example, in the oil and gas industry. More particularly, the present invention pertains to a method and apparatus for seam dressing that can be used in removing a weld seam along an inner surface on a section of coiled tubing, thereby allowing a coil connector to then be able to attach to an end of said section of coiled tubing. More particularly still, the present invention pertains to a more efficient seam dressing tool, thereby being able to remove a weld seam within an inner surface of a section of coiled tubing in a substantially faster manner, thus resulting in a relatively easy to use and inexpensive operation. More particularly still, the present invention pertains to a seam dressing tool that can be safely used in and/or around water, or other similar liquids, as necessary. 
     Brief Description of the Prior Art 
     Standard rotary drilling rigs are typically comprised of a supportive rig floor, a derrick extending vertically above said rig floor, and a traveling block that can be raised and lowered within said derrick. During drilling operations, this rig equipment is often used to insert and remove tubular goods from a wellbore situated under the derrick which extends into subterranean formations. 
     During downhole well operations, pipe (such as, for example, drill pipe, tubing, workstrings and the like) is typically inserted in wellbore, and removed from such wellbore, in a number of sections of roughly equal length. These pipe sections, commonly referred to as “joints,” are typically installed one at a time, and screwed together or otherwise connected end-to-end using threaded connections in order to make a roughly continuous length of pipe. According to industry convention, a joint of pipe typically comprises a male or “pin-end” threaded connection at its bottom end, and a female or “box-end” threaded connection at its upper end; the threaded pin-end connection from one pipe joint can be connected to a threaded box-end connection of an adjacent pipe joint in order to mate or join said pipe joints together. 
     Continuous or “coiled” tubing represents an alternative to conventional jointed pipe. Such coiled tubing typically utilizes a continuous length, up to 10,000 feet or more, of flexible tubing that is stored or wound on a reel. Unlike conventional jointed pipe, such coiled tubing can be translated in and out of a wellbore in a virtually continuous manner without the need to continually connect and/or disconnect individual pipe sections. 
     Coiled tubing can be used to conduct numerous downhole operations. For example, coiled tubing can be concentrically inserted into an existing wellbore in order to clean out sand or other debris from such well. Further, a fluid activated tool can be attached to the distal end of the coiled tubing in order to perform work downhole; typically, pressurized drilling fluid can be pumped through the coiled tubing to actuate the downhole tool. By way of illustration, a mud motor and drill bit can be attached to the distal end of coiled tubing and lowered into the borehole as the coiled tubing is spooled off a reel. As the mud motor extends deeper into the wellbore, pressurized drilling fluid drives the hydraulic mud motor which, in turn, rotates the drill bit downhole. 
     Although different manufacturing methods can be employed, coiled tubing typically comprises an electric-welded tube manufactured with one longitudinal seam formed by high-frequency induction welding without the addition of filler metal. Although this seam often has a relatively low profile, the seam can nonetheless extend at least partially into the inner diameter of the coiled tubing. As a result, said weld seam can impede the ability of a downhole tool (which is typically connected to the distal end of the coiled tubing using a coil connector device) to be joined to the coiled tubing forming a fluid pressure-tight seal. As such, it is frequently beneficial to remove a portion of this seam or “dress off” the distal end of the coiled tubing in order to create a substantially smooth inner surface of said coiled tubing in order to promote a “flush” or fluid pressure seal between a downhole tool (or coil connector) and said tubing. In many cases, such dressing off must be done in the field immediately prior to performing desired coiled tubing operations. 
     Thus, there is a need for a method and apparatus for removing at least some portion of a weld seam, or other obstruction or debris, from the inner surfaces of a section of coiled tubing. The method and apparatus should be relatively inexpensive, easy to use and effective, thereby allowing use in the field, or in a shop or other facility. 
     SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     The present invention comprises a seam dressing tool assembly for use in beneficially removing a weld seam on a section of coiled tubing, and thus, preparing an inner surface of said coiled tubing for an effective seal with a coil connector, or any other similar connecting device. In a preferred embodiment, the seam dressing tool of the present invention generally comprises a receiver, or sleeve, member, a drive shaft member, a drive collar member, a seal member, and a bit member. 
     In a preferred embodiment, the seam dressing tool of the present invention comprises a drive shaft member. Said drive shaft comprises a substantially cylindrical body member, having a first end and a second end and an outer diameter. Said first end of the shaft member comprises a receiving end for a drive motor mechanism, or any other similar mechanism, such as, for example, an air winch, and said second end of the shaft member allows for a connection with a bit member. Said bit member comprises a plurality of teeth-like projections (i.e, a carbide cutter with a plurality of honey comb inserts) located along an outer surface of said bit member for use in cutting a seam out and thus beneficially removing a weld seam from an inner surface of a section of coiled tubing. Thus, said bit member is threadably connected to second end of drive shaft member and is slidably disposed and received within a distal end section of coiled tubing. Thus, as said bit member and said drive shaft member are axially moving within said coiled tubing, said bit member is powered by said drive motor mechanism, thereby rotating said bit member about its axis, and thus removing said weld seam from within said coiled tubing. 
     Additionally, the seam dressing tool of the present invention comprises a drive collar member for use in maintaining control over said shaft member, and thus, keeping said shaft member substantially stable while said seam dressing tool assembly is in operation. Said drive collar comprises a first end and a second end, wherein said first end allows for said drive shaft to be received within said drive collar and said second end of said drive collar attachably connects to said receiver member. Said receiver member comprises a substantially cylindrical body member having a first end, a second end, an inner surface, and an outer surface, thus defining an inner chamber, wherein said first end attachably connects to said drive collar and said second end attachably connects to a receiver cap. Said receiver cap beneficially allows said receiver, and thus, said seam dressing assembly of the present invention, to connect to a distal end of said coiled tubing. 
     In a preferred embodiment, the seam dressing tool of the present invention further comprises a first seal member and a second seal member, or an O-ring, for use in preventing any excess fluid from exiting said coiled tubing while said seam dressing assembly is in operation. Said first seal member is adjacently disposed around said outer surface of said drive shaft and is positioned adjacently to said second end of said drive collar. Further, an outer surface of said first seal member is adjacently disposed about and positioned against said inner surface of said receiver member. As a result, said first seal member creates a plug or barrier in order to prevent any excess fluid from exiting said coiled tubing. Said second seal member, or O-ring, and at least one O-ring spacer are disposed within a groove between said receiver member and said receiver cap, and thus, effect a seal between said receiver cap and said receiver member. As a result, said O-ring is held in place using said O-ring spacers and a threaded connection between said receiver member and said receiver cap. 
     In a preferred embodiment, when said seam dressing assembly is in operation, a distal end of a section of coiled tubing is received within a second end of a receiver cap, wherein said receiver cap attachably connects said seam dressing assembly to said coiled tubing. Said drive shaft is attachably connected to a first end of said receiver member by way of said drive collar member. Thus, said drive collar member is threadably connected to said receiver member, thereby stabilizing said drive shaft during operation. Further, when said drive shaft is connected to said receiver, a rubber seal member, or O-ring, is adjacently disposed between said drive collar member and said receiver member, thereby creating a plug in order to prevent any fluid from exiting said coiled tubing. As such, said seam dressing assembly can safely be used in and/or around water, or other similar liquids, as necessary. 
     A user is then able to manually hold said receiver in order to provide stability to said seam dressing assembly, while a drive motor mechanism is attachably connected to said first end of said drive shaft member. Said drive motor mechanism is then able to power and thus apply a relative force to said drive shaft member, and thus ultimately, to said bit member. When said drive shaft axially extends into said distal end of said coiled tubing, said bit member extends into and through said receiver, and thus, into an inner chamber of said distal end of said coiled tubing. As a result, said bit member is able to rotate about its axis, contact the inner surface of said coiled tubing, and thus remove a weld seam along said inner surface of said coiled tubing. Therefore, said bit member is further able to clean up any rust, debris, or any other deviations from within said inner surface of said coiled tubing. After said weld seam has been removed, said seam dressing assembly of the present invention can be disconnected and removed from said distal end of said coiled tubing, and then any desired coil connector can be attached to said coiled tubing, as necessary. 
     Additionally, in a preferred embodiment, the seam dressing assembly of the present invention further comprises an inner diameter (ID) beveler apparatus for use in removing any excess deviations from within a section of coiled tubing prior to the attachment of the seam dressing tool assembly of the present invention. Thus, said ID beveler apparatus is generally used prior to said seam dressing assembly of the present invention. Said ID beveler apparatus generally comprises a beveler drive shaft, a beveler collar, and a beveling cone. The ID beveler apparatus can attach to a distal end of a section of coiled tubing and beneficially trim an internal diameter of said coiled tubing to a desired size by way of said beveling cone. 
     In a preferred embodiment, when said ID beveler apparatus is in operation, if said coiled tubing is to be connected to an inner diameter connector, or any other similar tool, said ID beveler apparatus can be attached to a distal end of said coiled tubing, trim said inner diameter of said coiled tubing as needed, and thus prepare said distal end of said coiled tubing to be connected to said seam dressing tool assembly of the present invention in order to further remove a weld seam from within said inner surface of said coiled tubing. After said seam dressing tool assembly is disconnected from said coiled tubing and said weld seam has been removed, said coiled tubing can then be connected directly to an inner diameter connector, as necessary. 
     Additionally, in a preferred embodiment, the seam dressing assembly of the present invention further comprises a plug member for use in sealing off a pipe before said seam dressing assembly is able to remove a weld seam from a section of coiled tubing, thereby preventing any water and or debris from coming in contact with said seam dressing assembly of the present invention. Said plug member comprises a threaded rod, a plurality of washers, and a plurality of—typically two (2)—O-rings. Said plug member is manually placed within a section of pipe and is then forced further down into said pipe by way of a variety of different tools. Said plug is forced far enough into said pipe to go beyond a section that needs to be dressed; thus, said plug is forced into said pipe beyond a distance where said weld seam is to be removed, and then said seam dressing assembly of the present invention is inserted into said pipe in order to remove said weld seam, as necessary. As a result, the O-rings of said plug create a barrier within an internal diameter of said pipe, thereby preventing any water, or fluid, and any type of debris from coming in contact with said seam dressing assembly as said assembly is removing the weld seam from said coiled tubing.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF A PREFERRED EMBODIMENT 
     Referring to the drawings,  FIG. 1  depicts an exploded view of a seam dressing tool assembly  100  of the present invention. In a preferred embodiment, seam dressing tool assembly  100  generally comprises a drive shaft member  10 , a drive collar member  20 , a bit member  30 , and a receiver member  40 . Drive shaft member  10  comprises a substantially cylindrical rod-like configuration, having a first end  11 , a second end  12 , and an outer diameter, or surface  14 . First end  11  of drive shaft  10  comprises a receiving end for a drive motor mechanism (although not illustrated in  FIG. 1 ), or any other similar mechanism or power source, such as, for example, an air wrench, and second end  12  of drive shaft  10  comprises a receiving end, or a connection point, for bit member  30 . 
     In a preferred embodiment, outer diameter  14  of drive shaft  10  comprises a plurality of circular-shaped grooves  16  that surround an entire outer circumference or surface  14  of shaft member  10  and that are equidistantly spaced apart along outer surface  14  of shaft member  10 . As a result, grooves  16  provide depth markings in order for a user to visually determine how far drive shaft  10 , and thus, seam dressing tool  100 , is being slidably disposed and extending within a section of coiled tubing. 
     Drive collar member  20  comprises a means for maintaining stability within seam dressing tool  100 , and thus, keeping drive shaft  10  substantially controlled. Drive collar  20  comprises a first end  21 , a second end  22 , an inner diameter, or surface  23 , and an outer diameter, or surface  24 , wherein drive shaft  10  is received within first end  21  of drive collar  20  and second end  22  of drive collar  20  comprises a threaded connection  60 , or any other similar attachment means, in order to attachably connect drive collar  20  to receiver member  40 . Thus, drive collar  20  threadably attaches into receiver member  40  in order to stabilize drive shaft  10  as drive shaft  10  is being powered through receiver member  40 . 
     Although not visible in  FIG. 1 , drive collar  20  further comprises a bushing member  25 , wherein bushing member  25  comprises a substantially cylindrical-shaped configuration, having a first end  26 , a second end  27 , an inner diameter, or surface  28 , and an outer diameter, or surface  29 .

As a result, bushing  25  provides a sleeve for use in beneficially lining inner surface  23  of drive collar  20 , thus protecting drive collar  20  from any movement or rotation of drive shaft  10 , thereby absorbing any frictional forces from movement or rotation from drive shaft  10  when seam dressing tool  100  is in operation. 
     Bit member  30  comprises a first end  31  and a second end  32 , wherein first end  31  is received within second end  12  of drive shaft  10 . Thus, bit member  30  is attachably connected to drive shaft  10  via a threaded connection  60 , or any other similar attachment means. Second end  32  of bit member  30  comprises a substantially jagged head member  33  having a substantially rough outer surface for use in removing a weld seam, or any other debris, from within a section of coiled tubing. Head member  33  has an outer diameter that is approximately slightly less than an inner diameter of a section of coiled tubing, thereby allowing head member  33  to be received within and extend through said coiled tubing, and thus, axially move along inner surface of said coiled tubing. Further, head member  33  comprises a plurality of fan-like projections  34  equidistantly spaced along an outer surface of head member  33 , wherein said projections  34  further comprise a plurality of teeth-like protrusions  35 . Said teeth-like protrusions  35  thus allow bit member  30  to contact said inner surface of said coiled tubing, and thus, remove said weld seam from said inner surface of said coiled tubing. For example, said fan-like projections  34  comprising a said teeth-like protrusions  35  can generally be referred to as a carbide cutter having a plurality of honeycomb inserts. Said cutter allows said bit member  30  to cut said weld seam from said inner surface of said coiled tubing. 
     Still referring to  FIG. 1 , in a preferred embodiment, receiver member  40  comprises a substantially cylindrical-shaped configuration, having a first end  41 , a second end  42 , an inner diameter, or surface  43 , and an outer diameter, or surface  44 . First end  41  of receiver member  40  comprises a threaded connection  60 , or any other similar attachment means, wherein drive collar  20  can attachably connect to receiver member  40 , and thus, ultimately allow drive shaft  10  and bit member  30  to be received within and extend through receiver member  40 . Second end  42  of receiver member  40  comprises a threaded connection  60 , or any other similar attachment means, for attachably connecting receiver member  40  to a receiver cap  45 . Receiver cap  45  further comprises a first end  46 , a second end  47 , an inner surface  48 , and an outer surface  49 , wherein first end  46  of receiver cap threadably connects to second end  42  of receiver  40 . Although not illustrated in  FIG. 1 , second end  47  of receiver cap  45  attachably connects seam dressing assembly  100  to a distal end of said coiled tubing. 
     Further, in a preferred embodiment, seam dressing assembly  100  comprises a first seal member  50 . First seal member  50  comprises a substantially circular, ring-like device, having an inner diameter  51  and an outer diameter  52 . Inner diameter  51  of first seal member  50  sits directly adjacent about outer surface  14  of drive shaft member  10 . Outer diameter  52  of first seal member  50  sits directly adjacent along inner surface  43  of receiver member  40 , thereby creating a seal in order to prevent any fluid from escaping or exiting from said coiled tubing when receiver  40  is attachably connected to said coiled tubing. As a result, first seal member  50  effects a seal between drive collar  20  and receiver member  40 . 
     Additionally, seam dressing assembly  100  comprises a second seal member, or an O-ring  55 , and at least one O-ring spacer  56 . O-ring  55  and O-ring spacer  56  each comprise a substantially circular, ring-like device having an inner through bore  57 . O-ring  55  and O-ring spacer  56  are disposed within a groove  58  of inner surface  48  of receiver cap  45  and effect a seal between receiver cap  45  and receiver member  40 . Said O-ring  55  is held in place using said O-ring spacers  56  and said threaded connection  60  between said receiver member  40  and said receiver cap  45 . 
       FIG. 2  depicts a perspective view of seam dressing assembly  100  of the present invention in an assembled configuration. In a preferred embodiment, seam dressing assembly  100  beneficially comprises drive shaft  10 , drive collar  20 , bit member  30 , and receiver  40 . In a preferred embodiment, drive shaft  10  and bit member  30  are attached in axial alignment with each other, and drive collar  20  and receiver  40  are attached in axial alignment with each other.

     In an alternate embodiment, although not depicted in  FIG. 2 , receiver member  40  can comprise a side fluid inlet. Said side fluid inlet comprises a substantially cylindrical member extending in an outward direction from said receiver member  40  in a substantially perpendicular configuration. Side fluid inlet can be used in order to allow a full flow of water during a downward or horizontal milling operation. 
     Moreover, in an additional alternate embodiment, although not depicted in  FIG. 2 , receiver member  40  can comprise an internal diameter (ID) reduction sleeve, wherein said ID reduction sleeve allows said seam dressing assembly  100  to be used with multiple different sizes of coiled tubing. A section of coiled tubing can be a variety of different diameters (for example, 2″, 1.75″, or 1.5″). As such, said ID reduction sleeve allows said seam dressing assembly  100  to be able to properly remove a weld seam from any diameter or size of coiled tubing from a single tool, without having to change said receiver member  40  to accommodate a particular size of coiled tubing.

First end  11  comprises a connection point  18  for a drive motor mechanism, while second end  12  comprises threaded connection  60  for bit member  30 . Drive shaft  10  extends through said drive collar  20  and is at least partially concentrically disposed within said internal chamber  38  of receiver member  40 . A first seal member  50  is disposed about an outer surface  14  of drive shaft and positioned within a groove at the threaded connection point between receiver member  40  and drive collar  20 . Seal member  50  effects a seal between drive collar  20  and receiver member  40 , thereby preventing any fluid from exiting said seam dressing assembly  100  of the present invention while said assembly  100  is in operation. 
     Still referring to  FIG. 5 , first end  31  of bit member  30  can be threadably connected to second end  12  of drive shaft member  10 , wherein bit member  30  is joined to drive shaft member  10  in an opposing end-to-end relationship. Second end  32  of bit member comprises head member  33  for use in removing a weld seam from within a section of coiled tubing. Head member  33  has an outer diameter that is approximately slightly less than an inner diameter of a section of coiled tubing, thereby allowing head member  33  to be received within and extend through said coiled tubing, and thus, axially move along inner surface of said coiled tubing. Further, head member  33  comprises a plurality of fan-like projections  34  equidistantly spaced along an outer surface of head member  33 , wherein said projections  34  further comprise teeth-like protrusions  35  located along an outer surface of said projections  34 . Said protrusions  35  thus allow bit member  30  to be able to abrasively contact said inner surface of said coiled tubing, thereby removing said weld seam, or any other debris or deviations, from said inner surface of said coiled tubing. 
       FIG. 6  depicts a perspective view of seam dressing assembly  100  of the present invention in operation. When in operation, a distal end of a section of coiled tubing  90  is received within second end  47  of receiver cap  45 , and thus, coiled tubing  90  is attachably connected to receiver cap  45  by way of threaded connection  60 , or via any other similar attachment means. Drive shaft  10  is attachably connected to first end  41  of receiver member  40  by way of drive shaft collar  20 . Drive shaft collar  20  is attachably connected to first end  41  of receiver member  40  by way of said threaded connections  60 , thereby stabilizing drive shaft  10  during a seam dressing operation. When drive shaft collar  20  is connected to receiver member  40 , seal member  50  is also received within receiver member  40 , thereby creating a plug in order to prevent any fluid from exiting coiled tubing  90  while seam dressing tool  100  is in operation. 
     In a preferred embodiment, a user is able to manually hold receiver  40  in order to provide stability to said tool  100 , while drive motor mechanism  150  is attachably connected to said first end  11  of said drive shaft member  10 . Drive motor mechanism  150  is then able to power and thus apply a relative force to drive shaft member  10 , and thus ultimately, to said bit member  30 , as drive shaft member  10  and bit member  30  are being powered into coiled tubing  90 . As a result, said power provided by said drive motor mechanism  150  enables drive shaft  10  to slidably extend through receiver member  40  and thus through said coiled tubing  90 , ultimately allowing bit member  30  to extend through receiver member  40  and through coiled tubing  90 . 
     Further, when drive shaft  10  axially moves into and extends through coiled tubing  90 , bit member  30  axially extends into and through receiver member  40 , and thus, into and through an inner chamber of coiled tubing  90 . Bit member  30  is then able to rotate about its axis, contact the inner surface of said coiled tubing, and remove weld seam  95  within the inner surface of coiled tubing  90 . Therefore, bit member  30  is further able to clean up any rust, or any other similar deviations from within inner surface of coiled tubing  90 . After weld seam  95  has been removed, seam dressing tool  100  can be disconnected and removed from said distal end of coiled tubing  90 , whereby any desired coil connector can then be attachably connected to coiled tubing  90 , as necessary. 
       FIG. 7  depicts a preferred embodiment of an inner diameter (ID) beveler apparatus  200  for use in removing any excess deviations from within a section of coiled tubing prior to the attachment of seam dressing assembly  100  of the present invention. ID beveler apparatus  200  generally comprises a beveler drive shaft member  210 , a beveler collar member  220 , and a beveling cone member  230 . Beveler drive shaft member  210  comprises a substantially cylindrical body member, having a first end  211 , a second end  212 , an inner surface  213 , and an outer surface  214 . First end  211  of beveler drive shaft  210  comprises a receiving end for a drive motor mechanism (although not illustrated in  FIG. 7 ), or any other similar mechanism, such as, for example, an air wrench, and second end  212  of drive shaft  210  comprises a receiving end, or a connection point, for beveling cone member  230 . 
     Beveler collar member  220  comprises a means for maintaining stability within ID beveler apparatus  200 , and thus, keeping beveler drive shaft  210  substantially controlled. Beveler drive collar  220  comprises a first end  221 , a second end  222 , an inner surface  223 , and an outer surface  224 , wherein beveler drive shaft  210  is received within first end  221  of beveler drive collar  220  and second end  222  comprises a threaded connection, or any other similar attachment means, in order to attachably connect beveler drive collar  220  to a beveler cap member  240 . Thus, beveler drive collar  220  attachably screws into a first end  241  of beveler cap member  240  in order to stabilize beveler drive shaft  210  as beveler drive shaft  210  is being pushed through cap member  240 , thereby driving and extending beveler cone  230  into and through cap member  240 . 
     Although not illustrated in  FIG. 7 , beveler drive collar  220  further comprises a beveler bushing member  225 , wherein beveler bushing member  225  comprises a substantially cylindrical-shaped configuration, having a first end  226 , a second end  227 , an inner surface  228 , and an outer surface  229 . Outer surface  229  of beveler bushing member  225  adjacently aligns inner surface  223  of beveler drive collar  220 , thereby providing a sleeve for use in lining inner surface  223  of beveler drive collar  220 , and thus protecting beveler drive collar  220  from any movement or rotational forces from beveler drive shaft  210 . Further, inner surface  228  of beveler bushing member  225  adjacently aligns outer surface  214  of beveler drive shaft  210 , thereby absorbing any frictional forces from any movement or rotation from beveler drive shaft  210  when ID beveler apparatus  200  is in operation. 
     Still referring to  FIG. 7 , beveling cone member  230  comprises a substantially jagged head member  233  for use in beneficially trimming an internal diameter from within a section of coiled tubing. Beveling cone member comprises a first end  231  and a second end  232 , wherein first end  231  attachably connects to second end  212  of beveler drive shaft  210 . Thus, beveling cone member  230  is attachably connected to beveler drive shaft  210  via a threaded connection, or any other similar attachment means. Second end  232  of beveling cone member  230  comprises a substantially hexagonal shaped bore having an inner diameter. 
     Additionally, head member  233  comprises a plurality of fan-like projections  234  that are equidistantly spaced apart about an outer surface of head member  233 . Fan-like projections  234  further comprise a plurality of teeth-like protrusions  235  located along an outer surface of said projections  234  that allow beveling cone member  230  to trim said inner diameter of said coiled tubing prior to attachment of seam dressing assembly  100 . Thus, head member  233  has an outer diameter that is approximately slightly less than an inner diameter of a section of coiled tubing, thereby allowing head member  233  to be received within said coiled tubing, and thus, axially move along inner surface of said coiled tubing. As a result, said teeth  235  that are disposed along projections  234  are able to beneficially trim an internal diameter of said inner surface of said coiled tubing as head member  233  of beveling cone member  230  is slidably disposed within said coiled tubing. 
     Further, in a preferred embodiment, ID beveler assembly  200  comprises a first seal member  250 . First seal member  250  comprises a substantially circular, ring-like device, having an inner diameter  251  and an outer diameter  252 . Inner diameter  251  of first seal member  250  defines an inner through bore and sits directly adjacent about outer surface  214  of beveler drive shaft member  210 . Outer diameter  252  of first seal member  250  sits directly adjacent along inner surface  223  of beveler collar member  220 , thereby preventing any fluid from escaping or exiting from said coiled tubing, and thus, ID beveler apparatus  200 , when said apparatus  200  is attachably connected to said coiled tubing. Additionally, a second seal member, or O-ring,  255  comprises a substantially circular, ring-like device having an inner through bore  257 . O-ring  255  is disposed within a groove  258  of an inner surface  243  of beveler cap member  240  and effects a seal between beveler cap  240  and beveler collar  220 . Said O-ring  255  is further held in place using said threaded connection  260  between said beveler collar member  220  and said beveler cap member  240 . 
       FIG. 8  depicts a preferred embodiment of an ID beveler assembly  200  of the present invention in an assembled configuration. When in operation, ID beveler apparatus  200  can attach to a distal end of a section of coiled tubing and beneficially trim an internal diameter to a desired size by way of beveling cone  230 . 
     In a preferred embodiment, when in operation, if said coiled tubing is to be connected to an inner diameter connector, or any other similar tool, ID beveler apparatus  200  can be attached to said coiled tubing, trim said inner diameter of said coiled tubing as needed, and thus prepare said coiled tubing to be connected to said seam dressing tool assembly  100  of the present invention in order to further remove a weld seam from said inner surface of said coiled tubing. After said seam dressing tool assembly  100  is disconnected from said coiled tubing and said weld seam has been removed, said coiled tubing can then be connected directly to an inner diameter connector. 
       FIG. 9  depicts a side sectional view of a preferred embodiment of inner diameter beveler  200  of the present invention, generally comprising beveler drive collar  220 , beveler drive shaft  210 , and beveler cone member  230 .

First end  211  comprises a connection point for a drive motor mechanism, while second end  212  comprises a threaded connection for beveler cone member  230 . Beveler drive shaft  210  extends through said beveler drive collar  220  and is at least partially concentrically disposed within said internal chamber  238  of beveler drive collar  220 . First seal member  250  is disposed about an outer surface  214  of beveler drive shaft  210  and positioned within a groove at the threaded connection point between beveler drive collar  220  and beveler cap member  240 . Seal member  250  effects a seal between beveler drive collar  220  and beveler cap member  240 , thereby preventing any fluid from exiting said ID beveler assembly  200  of the present invention while said assembly  200  is in operation. 
     Still referring to  FIG. 9 , first end  231  of beveling cone member  230  can be threadably connected to second end  212  of beveler drive shaft member  210 , wherein beveling cone member  230  is joined to beveling drive shaft member  210  in an opposing end-to-end relationship. Second end  232  of beveling cone member  230  comprises head member  233  for use in removing a weld seam from within a section of coiled tubing. Head member  233  has an outer diameter that is approximately slightly less than an inner diameter of a section of coiled tubing, thereby allowing head member  33  to be received within and extend through said coiled tubing, and thus, axially move within inner surface of said coiled tubing. Further, head member  233  comprises a plurality of teeth-like projections  234  located along an outer surface of head member  233 , thereby allowing beveling cone member  230  to be able to trim said internal diameter of said coiled tubing. 
       FIG. 10  depicts a side perspective view of a plug apparatus  300  of the present invention. In a preferred embodiment, the seam dressing assembly of the present invention further comprises a plug apparatus  300 , or plug member, for use in sealing off a pipe before said seam dressing assembly is able to remove a weld seam from a section of coiled tubing, thereby preventing any water and or debris from coming in contact with said seam dressing assembly of the present invention and/or simultaneously allowing said seam dressing assembly to be used in an underwater environment. 
     Plug member  300  comprises a threaded rod  310 , a plurality of washers  320 , and a plurality of—typically two (2)—O-rings  330 , wherein said plug member  300  further comprises a first end  311  and a second end  312 .
