The DWX-53DC  offers the ability to exchange adapters more rapidly, and, with the addition of the 4.0mm bur, reduces the amount of time necessary to rough materials. These two improvements decrease the total milling time necessary to digitally produce all dental applications. 

What is the difference between a standard adapter and an open edge adapter?

Both standard and open edge adapters can be used for all dental applications, however, the open edge adapter allows the tool to reach undercuts and mill facial anatomy more accurately, producing. The same features as ninety-degree milling for C-type adapters or clamps.
