#Vermeer Atlas Bore Planner series#He specified the start point for the bore (0.0), and then a series of other data points, at specified distances from the entry point, to indicate topography changes, such as the top or bottom of a road ditch. Klein proceeded to the Topography tab and opened a box for entering topographic data, which normally would come from engineering drawings of the job site. When he closed out of the Job tab, all other tabs on the main screen were highlighted. “If the product pipe doesn’t deflect as much as the drill rod, you need to use that as the limiting factor for planning the bore.” Klein then entered the drill bit and reamer diameters and other tooling specifics. “In planning a bore, it is essential to know whether the bend radius of the product is greater than that of the drill pipe,” he said. Still in the Job section, Klein clicked the Tooling tab and input the product pipe diameter, quantity and bend radius. The user can also select Other and bring up a box in which to enter the specifications manually for any make and model of drill. When he selected the D24x40 Series II machine, a picture of that unit appeared on the left side of the screen, and a box appeared listing that machine’s relevant specifications, including the bend radius of the drill rod (Figure 1). Next, still working in the Job tab, Klein used a Machine tab to open a box and select the drill to be used for the bore. The box also provided a space for entering notes. This brought up a box in which he entered a job name and specified the entry angle and minimum ground cover. To begin the bore plan, he clicked on the Job tab at the top of the screen - the only tab highlighted at this stage - and clicked an Add button. ![]() Klein then opened a Display box, selected a grid, and specified the grid measurements (10 feet per grid line).
