Magnet sensing hole driller and method therefor

A portable device to drill holes has a platform. A plurality of wheel sets is coupled to the platform. A drive system is used for driving the plurality of wheels. An attachment mechanism is positioned on an underside of the platform for securing the device to a surface. A control board is used for controlling the operation of the device. A drill spindle assembly is coupled to the platform. A drill feed assembly is coupled to the drill spindle assembly for raising and lowering the drill spindle assembly. A plurality of sensors are operable to sense one or more magnets disposed below the surface. A drive table is used for positioning the drill spindle assembly in an XY plane based on an output of said plurality of sensors.

A method and apparatus for controlling lateral drilling for accurate placement of laterally running conduit for electrical, fluid or gas piping. The disclosure provides a stable platform which is adjustable and may be quickly assembled in a basement or subterranean building area to allow accurate placement of lateral deep drilling to provide connection between a below grade space, through a foundation wall and through soil to place the termination point of the desired hole very close to a target location. The apparatus can be driven with an internal drill or a hand drill to drive a screw-like mechanism forward once the geometry of the intended conduit drilling is set up.
