When a potential predator encounters the Ash Borer, it may refrain from conflict mistakenly thinking that it may be stung. Thus the Ash Borer benefits from the similarity of its appearance to a more dangerous foe, making it a Batesian mimic of the wasp.

The instep borer was a medieval Germany German instrument of torture that externally resembled an iron boot. It was hinged to permit the free insertion and removal of the bare foot. A crank projected from a housing over the instep, which concealed a long, thick, serrated iron blade, grooved so as to inflict maximum damage and promote liberal blood flow. Turning the crank slowly advanced the blade into the boot, punching a hole through the center of the instep. The resultant wound was so large that it was not unusual for the prisoner to die of toxaemia soon after. It seems that the instep borer was used only in Nuremberg .

The jig borer is a type of machine tool invented at the end of World War I to make possible the quick yet very precise location of hole centers. It was invented independently in Switzerland and the United States. ref Moltrecht, Karl Hans Machine Shop Practice , 2nd ed. New York Industrial Press, 1981, Volume 1, p. 403. ref It can be viewed as a specialized species of milling machine that provided tool and die maker s with a higher degree of positioning precision repeatability and accuracy than those general machines had previously provided. A typical jig borer had a work table of around 400 x 200 mm, which can be moved using large handwheels with micrometer style readouts and verniers on particularly carefully made shafts with a strong degree of gearing this allowed positions to be set on the two axes to an accuracy of 0.0001 inch 2.5 micrometres . It was generally used to enlarge to a precise size smaller holes drilled with less accurate machinery in approximately the correct place IE with the small hole strictly within the area to be bored out for the large hole . History Before the jig borer was developed, hole center location had been accomplished either with Marking out layout either quickly but imprecisely or painstakingly and precisely or with Jig tool Drill jig drill jig s themselves made with painstaking and precise layout . The jig borer was invented to expedite the making of drill jigs, but it helped to eliminate the need for drill jigs entirely by making quick precision directly available for the parts that the jigs would have been created for.

The auger bit is usually manufactured from carbide steel. It is most often used by forester s, researcher s, and scientist s to determine the age of a tree. This science is also called dendrochronology . This enables the user to count the rings in the core sample to determine the age of the tree or the growth rate of the tree. After use the tool breaks down and the auger bit and extractor fit into the handle. This makes it highly compact and easy to carry. Use File Pressler drill 5 beentree.jpg right thumb 300px An extracted core sample Effective use of an increment borer requires specialized training. Samples are taken at breast height or stump height of the tree depending on the user s objectives. During use the borer should be well lubricated this makes the auger bit easier to use and helps to prevent the increment borer from becoming stuck in the tree. Maintenance Increment borers should be properly maintained to keep them in good working condition. They should be cleaned after use and dried before storing.

A raise borer is a machine used in underground mining , to excavate a circular hole between two levels of a mining mine without the use of explosives .

A small diameter hole pilot hole is drilled to the level required the diameter of this hole is typically 230mm 350mm 9 15 , large enough to accommodate the drill string . Once the drill has broken into the opening on the target level, the bit is removed and a reamer head, of the required diameter of the excavation, is attached to the drill string and raised back towards the machine. The drill cuttings from the reamer head fall to the floor of the lower level. The finished raise has smooth walls and may not require rock bolt ing or other forms of ground support. ref cite book last Puhakka first Tulla authorlink coauthors title Underground Drilling and Loading Handbook publisher Tamrock Corporation date 1997 location Finland pages 186 187 url doi id isbn ref The boxhole borer or machine roger is a variant of a raise borer that is used when there is not enough space on the higher of the two levels to be connected.
