The times that a person actuallyneeds borehole drilling equipment is not that often and most people are nevergoing to need the equipment long enough to make an argument for purchasing aborehole setup. Because of this, there are many companies that hire outborehole setups. Finding a company that hires the equipment can be difficultfor the end user but they are out there. Before doing work that uses a boreholerig, the user should make sure they are comfortable using the equipment andunderstand the safety instructions regarding proper use.

Borehole machines are fairlystraightforward devices but are large and can be difficult to setup and operateby a single individual. Because of this, many companies will insist on bringingeither a helper or an entire crew out to assist with the use of the machine.For the consumer, this should not be seen as a sign of weakness but as a signof knowledge and understanding of what is involved. The typical hired boreholemachine is made up of a tripod that is between two and a half and four and ahalf meters high. The setup process can be done by an individual, but goes muchquicker with a crew. On top of this, the way that the borehole machine digsinto the ground and bedrock is by using weight. This weight is placed on thebit and varies between one hundred and five hundred kilograms in weight. Whilean individual could place these weights onto the swaying bit, it is, again, fareasier to have at least one person assisting. By preventing the suspended bitfrom swaying, the process of adding weight is both safer and easier toaccomplish.
