Hollow power tools

Some power tools are designed with hollow or channeled components for specific purposes. For example:

1. Dust Extraction: Some power tools, like sanders and routers, might have hollow parts or chutes designed to connect to a dust extraction system. This helps capture and remove dust and debris generated during operation, keeping the work area cleaner and improving air quality.

2. Vacuum Attachments: Certain power tools can be connected to a vacuum cleaner or dust collector to reduce dust and debris in the immediate environment.

3. Cooling and Ventilation: In high-power tools or tools with electric motors, there might be hollow or vented areas designed for better cooling and heat dissipation to prevent overheating during extended use.

4. Cable Routing: Some power tools have hollow handles or guides to route power cords or cables safely away from the working area, reducing the risk of accidental cuts or entanglement.

5. Reducing Weight: Hollow components can help reduce the weight of a power tool while maintaining structural integrity. This can be useful for tools that need to be maneuvered easily.

6. Sound Dampening: Hollow parts can be used in power tools to help dampen vibrations and reduce noise generated during operation.

7. Ergonomics: Some tools might have hollowed-out grips or handles to improve ergonomics and make them more comfortable to hold and use.
