Foredom Rubber Point Cylinder 5x12mm Coarse 2.35mm

Description:

Rubber point cylinder 5x12mm coarse 2.35mm is a specialized abrasive dental tool engineered for contouring, bulk reduction, and preliminary finishing of restorative materials. Its cylindrical shape offers straight-line, parallel abrasion, making it particularly useful when clinicians need to refine marginal ridges, adjust occlusal contacts, or contour acrylic denture bases and metal frameworks. The coarse grit embedded within the rubber matrix provides rapid material removal while ensuring operator control and reducing the risk of chatter or overheating. Designed with a universal 2.35mm shank, this rubber point fits securely into most contra-angle handpieces, laboratory motors, and straight handpieces that accept standard latch-type or friction-grip accessories. The 5mm diameter allows for precise engagement of target areas, while the 12mm length provides enough surface coverage for efficient reduction in both clinical and laboratory environments. This abrasive point is particularly valuable in prosthodontics, orthodontics, and dental laboratory workflows. It can be used for adjusting clasp arms on removable partial dentures, refining metal substructures before porcelain application, contouring orthodontic appliance components, and trimming thermoplastic retainers or splints. The rubberized binder ensures that the abrasive action remains controlled, reducing the risk of deep scratches that may complicate subsequent polishing stages. Overall, the Rubber point cylinder 5x12mm coarse 2.35mm is a durable, versatile tool that supports accurate material reduction while maintaining ergonomics and efficiency for dental professionals.
