A method to back ream a borehole drilled with a roller cone drill bit is taught. Protruding hard metal cutting inserts are affixed on the upper outside diameter tapered shoulder of each of the bit legs. If the borehole closes to a smaller diameter than the bit gage diameter or loose rock rubble packs around the upper portion of the bit, the protruding cutting inserts fixed on the upper leg tapered shoulder portion back ream the borehole by lifting and rotating the bit.
