No compressed air needed – due to the airtool
One great innovation of the E5 is that it uses no compressed air: The E5 requires neither an external compressed air connection nor an integrated compressor, which is possible with our patent-pending airtool.
The turbine blades on the airtool use the high speeds of the high-frequency spindle to generate a powerful air flow which keeps the workpiece free from dust and chippings. These are removed by suction.
