The apparatus also has a blade stabilizer through which the blades extend engaging the blades intermediate their ends for supporting the blades against lateral bending which would tend to damage the blades. The apparatus also includes structure for retracting the stabilizer member relative to the blades during the final completion of the penetrating so as not to restrict the penetrating.
