Shaw Core Drill

Shaw Core Drill logoChaltrek is proud to be the Canadian Distributor for the Shaw Portable Core Drill. When carried in the Ostrom Outdoors designed Geologist pack, the complete drill kit weighs approximately 40 pounds with ample room for all the accessories, extra fuel and personal items.

It will allow the collection of fresh rock core samples at depths well below the weathered zone of most rock outcrops and is portable, self-contained, easy to use and fast drilling.

The new components of the complete kit are as follows (in US $):

Diamond Bits $85.00
Geologist Pack $325.00
Stainless Extensions $180.00

You can customize your kit from basic to complete. The typical complete kit would include: engine drill, threaded lead and adaptor, water supply system, three diamond bits, Geologist pack, three stainless extensions, stainless t handle and core catcher for a total of $2525.00 (U.S. dollars). To get you started, the basic kit for $1190.00 (U.S. dollars) would include the engine drill, threaded lead with adaptor, one diamond bit and the water supply system. Add the taxes and shipping and you are ready to retreive fresh clean samples.
