A Borewell machine is a machine used to bore or drill dig deep underground to bring out the borewell water that is not possible to move or rotate on the machine. It is one of the most useful machines which is used on heavy objects like engines, frames, cylinders, land, etc. on which the operation of lathe and drilling machines is not possible.

Borewell machines are typically used to enlarge holes where other processes would be cost-prohibitive, inefficient, or inaccurate. Some of the major uses include:

Roughing/finishing internal surfaces. One of the major uses of a this machine is to rough up or smooth out the inner surfaces of a cut hole. Here, the tool used can help texture the surface of the interior of the hole in a specific way. This is sometimes done when repairing a product rather than making a new one.

Boring heat-sensitive or non-ductile materials. As a physical shearing procedure, borewell machines can enlarge holes in components that are unsuitable for thermal or electric-based hole-making methods.  Manual borewell machines are best suited for expanding through holes. While borewell machines may have the precision required to drill blind or partial holes, this is still not their preferred application.
