    Some time back, I made the same claim on Orchid about the Techno X
    (which I've used for years). A couple of posters shot back that
    despite the frictionless innards, metal dust could/will get into the
    mechanism and mess up the works. They insisted that it was a bad idea
    to allow the handpiece to run while changing burs, for instance.
    YMMV.
