            during the drilling process, thereby verifying that the locking mechanism is strong enough
            to serve its function without breaking away.


            19.6.2.2 Drill tip force

            The objective of this test is to estimate the force payload on the Goldrill GR3 bending
            segment. This test was conducted by placing two pieces of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) test
