Foredom Carbide Bur Cylinder 1.6mm 2.35mm Shank

Description:

Carbide Bur Cylinder 1.6 mm with a 2.35 mm shank is a precision rotary cutting tool specifically designed to support accurate shaping, reduction, and leveling tasks across a wide range of dental laboratory procedures. Made from high-density carbide, the bur offers exceptional wear resistance, edge retention, and structural stability, providing consistent cutting performance even under demanding workloads. The cylindrical head shape provides a broad, flat cutting surface ideal for uniform reduction. This makes it particularly suitable for tasks requiring evenly leveled surfaces, such as adjusting occlusal platforms, refining denture borders, trimming block-out resin, and shaping the walls of provisional restorations. Its straight-sided geometry ensures clean, linear trimming without unwanted rounding or surface irregularities. The 1.6 mm diameter offers a balance between precision and cutting area, allowing the bur to remove material efficiently while maintaining fine control. It is especially effective for laboratory workflows involving acrylic appliances, composite resin components, and hard wax frameworks. The bur maintains sharpness over prolonged use, reducing cutting time and preventing excessive heat that could distort thermoplastic materials. With a 2.35 mm shank, the bur is compatible with standard dental laboratory handpieces and micromotors, ensuring secure engagement and stable rotational performance. Smooth operation at both low and high speeds allows technicians to perform a wide range of adjustments with accuracy and comfort. This carbide cylinder bur is indispensable for detailed appliance fabrication, including trimming night guards, reshaping orthodontic retainers, refining denture bases, and adjusting temporary restorations before polishing. Its reliable performance ensures that dental professionals can achieve consistent, high-quality results, making it a staple in any restorative or prosthetic laboratory environment.
