Abstract:
A steering tool includes an internal tube disposed inside an external tube. The internal and external tubes are arranged for longitudinal axial movement relative to one another. A distal portion of the internal tube is fixedly joined to a distal portion of the external tube. Either or both of the tubes are formed with patterns of cuts made along adjacent longitudinal stations along a length of the cut tube. The cutting pattern at a first longitudinal station is shifted with respect to a cutting pattern at a second longitudinal station and a cutting pattern at the second longitudinal station is shifted with respect to a cutting pattern at a third longitudinal station but at a different shift defined between the first and second longitudinal stations, so that a shift from one longitudinal station of cuts to the next adjacent longitudinal station of cuts is not repeated.

Claim (Index 12):
The steering tool according to  claim 7 , wherein the shifting comprises a pattern of 153642 lateral shift locations.
