Boring with a Powerhouse

By Gabriel Lefrancois, regional editor

Many of the machine?EUR??,,????'???s parts are manufactured in house and inspected by trained technicians, giving customers the satisfaction of knowing their machine will perform.

For over 30 years, Ken Vaughan of Under Wunder LLC has been manufacturing portable earth boring machines in Lewisville, Texas. His goal: to make the best machine at an affordable price.

Featuring a 5.5hp Honda or Briggs & Stratton engine, at your request, this machine has the capacity to bore holes in the 50-foot range and according to the company, boring a hole in the 100-foot range is not uncommon. With a 6-to-1 reduction for increased torque, this titanic hole maker will easily bore through dirt or rock, giving you time to tackle more jobs.

With the ability to perform at ground level, the machine only requires a four-inch trench for the drill stem to operate, and with a sight and alignment package included, aligning the boring equipment is a snap. According to the manufacturer, a four-inch target can be hit nine times out of 10 when boring under a double car driveway. The bore is also wench driven, allowing the operator to bore holes with minimal effort. Thanks to the wench, the operator no longer has to power the machine with his or her own physical strength.

With drill bits in lengths of 9 ft., 10 ft., 20 ft., and even custom sizes upon request, this machine bores through your toughest challenges.

Weighing in at slightly less than1,001 lbs., this walk-behind machine has heavy industrial design standards. What?EUR??,,????'???s better is the machine is not mass-produced; trained technicians handle the assembly and manufacturing of each bore. A majority of the parts are even manufactured in house, reducing costs and ensuring a better product for the customer.

Drill bits are offered in a variety of sizes from 9 ft, 10 ft., 20 ft. and custom sizes upon request. Finding the right bit for a job is simple. Concrete boring bits are also available, making it a heavyweight contender with the ability to bore through virtually anything.

Equipped with a bronze-bearing water swivel, water is used to cool the carbide tipped bits. The bore?EUR??,,????'???s cooling system can function under city water pressure, which is a plus because high levels of friction can actually melt the bits.

People who own this machine know that its portability is what allows them to get more jobs done. The bore fits easily in the bed of a truck and has a fast set-up time, making it economical and practical for everyday applications.

Thanks to this powerful boring machine, difficult jobs become less so.
