@portboypj - It is an awesome drill. But you're wrong. Its a Generation V 920...or (540) now that Sandvik got their mitts on it.) The 'Dolomite' video I have posted is the same drill, you can clearly see the 920 model number if you won't take my word for it. Go ahead...take a look.
@HardRokMiner my bad, i've been on the 1120s for about a year now and can't get enough of them hope sandvic keep making them just as good as cubex were
@bullerrovers - The casings are used when there is alot of over burden (broken ground) on top of the bedrock.
They are drilled a foot or so into bedrock and this makes it much easier and more effecient to drill the production holes. As I'm sure you know, its a bitch to keep a hole in badly broken ground. Casings solve this problem. We use alot of types of hammers. Sandvik, Halco, RockHog and Copco's. I drill in Canada, the home of Cubex!

@bullerrovers - I have also used the 1120 and the 1320. These are nice drills in my opinion. Thank you for the question. Have a great day, mate.

what is the casing for?, is that to keep a good collar on the drill hole?
