the price of boring rises linearly with depth; bore axis with neutral floating; the possibility to make vertical or inclined bores up to 10 km deep; the possibility to make large diameter bores – even 5 times larger than on the ground compared to today drilling technologies; casing formed on site in the borehole
Today, most Earth drilling serves one of the following purposes: return samples of the soil and/or rock through which the drill passes; access rocks from which material can be extracted; access rocks which can then be measured; provide access to rock for purposes of providing engineering support
The machine began excavation of the 1.7-mile-long (2.7 km) route on July 30, 2013, with completion of the bore scheduled in 14 months' time and the tunnel opening to traffic in December 2015. [ 24 ] [ 25 ] [ 26 ] Over 5,000 members of the public, along with Governor Jay Inslee , were present for the machine's dedication a week prior to the ...
A horizontal boring machine or horizontal boring mill is a machine tool which bores holes in a horizontal direction. There are three main types — table, planer and floor. [1] The table type is the most common and, as it is the most versatile, it is also known as the universal type. [2]
The International Confederation of Fullbore Rifle Associations (ICFRA) is the international association for the fullbore rifle shooting sports of target rifle ('TR') (called 'Palma' rifle in the US) and F-Class, which are long range competitions shot at distances between 300 and 900 meters or 300 to 1,000 yards depending on the range.

The Bertha Rogers Borehole is a former natural gas well in Burns Flat, Dill City, Oklahoma, US.Today plugged and abandoned, it was originally drilled by the Lone Star Producing Company as its oil-exploratory hole number 1–27 between October 25, 1972 and April 13, 1974, reaching a then world record terminal depth of 31,441 feet (5.9547 mi; 9,583 m).
This method of bore finishing is better suited for bores with relatively low length-to-diameter ratios, usually less than 2:1. However, if there are cross-holes, or other interruptions in the bore, then a ratio greater than 2:1 is possible, because swarf and fluids may be expelled via these routes. This process is also not well suited for ...
A counterbore in a metal plate. In machining, a counterbore (symbol: ⌴) is a cylindrical flat-bottomed hole that enlarges another coaxial hole, or the tool used to create that feature.
