This interactive lesson is part of “John Flucke Presents: The Electric Advantage” course. If you’d like you view this entire course, please register for a free account via Bien-Air Academy and enroll in this course.

OVERALL BENEFITS

More Efficient

As we saw in the previous lesson, you get significantly faster cut when you use electric (even with a dull bur).

Better Results
