Durston achieved this by employing a thinner frame than the premium DRM 130 series, resulting in a slightly lighter mill—without any compromise in structural integrity or day-to-day durability. A traditional T-bar replaces the heavy cast handwheel for roll opening adjustment, contributing to the weight and cost savings that make the Agile series so competitive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe flat rolls are \u003cstrong\u003einduction hardened to 64 HRC to a depth of 6mm\u003c\/strong\u003e, ensuring long-lasting surface hardness that stands up to repeated use with a wide range of metals. The \u003cstrong\u003eheavy-duty 5-to-1 gearbox\u003c\/strong\u003e—widely regarded as unrivaled in its class—dramatically reduces the effort required to turn the rolls. Behind the protective cover, two specially formed gears work together for exceptionally smooth rolling action. A protective guard around the top gears adds an important safety feature for the working studio environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInduction-hardened rolls at 64 HRC to a depth of 6mm for lasting surface
