- and
- sacrificing at least a portion of the sacrificial tooling element.
1 more element
An arrangement, comprising:
- a body having a longitudinal axis;
- a lower slip system located on the body, the lower slip system having at least a first set of six slips and at least six wedges configured to interact with a scalloped portion, wherein the slips are configured to shear from an associated wedge of the at least six wedges at a pre-determined shear force;
- and
- an upper slip system located on the body, having a taper, a second set of at least six slips and at least six wedges, the at least six wedges configured to interact with the taper, wherein the slips are configured to shear from an associated wedge of the at least six wedges at a pre-determined shear force.
