Foredom Carbide Bur Taper 1.2mm 2.35mm Shank

Description:

The Carbide Bur Taper 1.2 mm with a 2.35 mm shank is a precision-engineered rotary cutting instrument ideal for contouring, fine trimming, and margin detailing in dental laboratory applications. Its tapered shape allows for enhanced access to tight spaces, interproximal areas, and intricate internal surfaces that require accuracy and careful material removal. Made from high-strength tungsten carbide, the bur provides sharp, consistent cutting action that enhances efficiency during the fabrication of crowns, bridges, veneered restorations, and custom abutments. The tapered design is particularly effective for refining axial walls, smoothing internal surfaces of castings, adjusting emergence profiles, and shaping delicate wax patterns. Technicians frequently use it to define margin edges, adjust contact areas, or refine fine anatomical grooves in both wax and ceramic materials. The 1.2 mm cutting head allows controlled removal of small amounts of material, minimizing the risk of over-reduction or damage to adjacent surfaces. Its ability to work in confined spaces makes it invaluable for metal framework adjustments, preparation of post-and-core patterns, and refinement of pressed ceramic pieces. In addition, its design supports smooth transitions when shaping contours of anterior esthetic restorations. With a standard 2.35 mm shank, the bur fits securely in most laboratory handpieces, providing excellent rotational stability and reduced vibration at high speeds. Its tungsten carbide structure maintains sharpness over long periods, reducing tool changes and improving workflow efficiency. Whether used for prepolishing, structural shaping, or detailed finishing before glazing or casting, the Carbide Bur Taper 1.2 mm ensures precision, consistency, and control. It is an essential tool for any dental laboratory that emphasizes accuracy and high-quality craftsmanship in restorative and prosthetic fabrication.
