Material: 4 Vesconite plates 600 x 90 x 10mm thick and 400 x 90 x 10mm thick (23.6" x 3.5" x 0.4" thick and 15.7" x 3.5" x 0.4" thick)
Previous material: Steel
The drill rig works in abrasive, dusty conditions without lubrication. Vesconite gave two to three times the life of the previous material.
