Core drill exploration companies the information necessary to begin or abandon mining operations in a particular area. Before the start of World War Two, Branner Newsom, a California mining engineer, invented a core drill that could take out large diameter cores up to 16 feet in length for mining shafts. This type of core drill is no longer in use as modern drill technology allows standard drilling to accomplish the same at a much cheaper cost. Core drills come with several power choices including electric, pneumatic, hydraulic (all of which require power sources, such as a generator). Core drill A core drill
