The key to good performance is the ability to spin the blade at the right speed, with the right amount of torque to overcome resistance and put pressure on the cutting surface.

At Echidna, we try to optimise our designs to give greatest cutting efficiency for the blade diameter required.

For this reason, we have chosen our motors carefully so that there is no gearbox between the motor and the output shaft.

The result is

• maximum efficiency
• reduced weight
• compact unit with narrow body
• minimal maintenance required
