While it is somewhat appealing, it just seems like a waste of iron to make something that is irretrievable... Or do you mean that even by wrenching it you just get the basic machine block back? Although I do give you props for making something that seems original. Explain a bit more about your idea though, try to really win over people, convince them that your idea is useful/good/whatever...
To me the Idea sounds interesting, since the main issue with the miner (or the main issue I have with the miner) is the fact it's a long tme to set up compared to what you'll get with (especially in comparison with Quarry/Vanilla Mining)
You already have it, it's called dynamite, and you get 8 per batch made....
only if you fond of wrecked terrain and loathe automatizaton ))
How about crafting a cheaper miner version, together with a few pieces of ITNT and then place a miner which will perform it's full mining operation within a few seconds (maybe a minute), consuming itself in the process?

Lol. I'm not sure if it was intended to be a joke, or if you're speaking seriously ... if it was serious, then I like the Idea of a miner that consume ITNT to mine (because for now, mining with TNT is cool, but ... a it random, and not that cheap for what you'll get ^^). If you were joking ... then you succesfuly trolled us :p

I like this idea, but think it would be even better if it made a big hole, same as if you used dynamite to go all the way down to bedrock.

As mentioned before, either it be a joke or not , here is my opinion/suggestion :
A cheaper version of the miner which uses dynamite sticks (a half stack per full operation, doesnt matter how many blocks it digs) instead of mining pipes and has a 50% of chance of destroying itself (on completion) as it uses dynamites to dig. It could be called "DynaMiner"
Recipe could be :
= bronze = redstone = Mini circuit [recipe is tin cable with 2 redstone around] = flint and steel = ITNT
