Bor-It Model 12 - Mighty Max

Though the smallest of Bor-It’s wide-ranging family of earthboring machines, the Model 12 offers the greatest portability and suitable power for many applications.

The “Mighty Max” handles cased bores from 4" through 12" in diameter, meeting the needs of several utility requirements. Only 630 lbs., it can be easily transported to remote areas where it would be difficult to take larger machinery. Spring-centered control valves offer easy control for even the most difficult bores.
