The openwork carving technique is an original carving technique in Putian.

The original main application scope of the flexible shaft machine is large-scale jade carving works that cannot be carried by the desktop computer. It is usually used with handheld devices such as the electric mill to complete the detailed work that cannot be carried out by the electric mill. Since the fixed grinding head of the desktop computer is not as flexible as the handle in handling some types of devices, many people will also choose to apply the flexible shaft machine to some smaller or more special types of devices. Due to the continuous improvement of fine requirements for jade articles, jade carvers in China are constantly looking for and trying more favorable equipment. The dental machine is the medical equipment borrowed from the dentist by the jade carver. Its flexibility is the best of all models at present, so it is mainly used for detail processing, but has little application value in heavy work.
