Vitreous enamel is in the same class as ceramics and is incredibly hard wearing	Patented motor technology provided by Maxon who are world leaders in precision drives and gearing technology has been used in the table drive system resulting in an ultra slim skeletal frame through which the table centre gyroscopically rotates.
