Trimodal reamer for use in drilling operations

A reamer comprising:

• an annular body extending linearly along an elongate centerline between a first end and a second end;
• at least one cutting blade coupled to the annular body and extending radially from the elongate centerline and comprising:
• a spiral section extending helically about and distally from the annular body;
• a first linear tapered section positioned between the spiral section and the first end;
• a second linear tapered section positioned between the spiral section and the second end, wherein the first linear tapered section and the second linear tapered section comprise a plurality of first cutting inserts, and said spiral section comprises a plurality of second cutting inserts;
• and
• a first alternate cutter having a non-circular cutting surface broader in area than any of the plurality of TCI cutters and the first plurality of PDC cutters, disposed between the second plurality of cutting inserts and the first end, wherein the first alternate cutter extends further from the elongate centerline than any point of the first plurality of cutting inserts and further from the elongate centerline than any point of the second plurality of cutting inserts.
