Foredom Rubber Point Wheel 12x1mm Coarse 2.35mm

Description:

The Rubber point wheel 12x1mm coarse 2.35mm is a precision abrasive tool ideal for controlled reduction of flat or gently curved surfaces in various dental restorative materials. Its thin 1mm profile and 12mm diameter allow clinicians to engage surfaces selectively, making it well-suited for margin adjustment, appliance edge refinement, and planar contouring of acrylics and metals. The coarse abrasive grit provides fast-acting material removal while maintaining a smooth, predictable cutting action. This wheel excels in tasks such as adjusting denture borders, contouring occlusal splints, fine-tuning partial denture frameworks, and shaping orthodontic appliance edges. The 2.35mm shank allows universal compatibility with contra-angle handpieces, providing stable rotation and reduced vibration. Its wheel design also facilitates selective trimming of flat surfaces without compromising adjacent contours, an advantage over bulkier or rounded abrasive instruments. In dental laboratories, the tool is commonly used for smoothing metal casting surfaces, refining acrylic appliances, shaping thermoplastic retainers, and preparing restoration margins before polishing. The rubber matrix reduces heat production, contributing to safer and more controlled operation. Overall, the Rubber point wheel 12x1mm coarse 2.35mm is a highly effective abrasive accessory for detailed edge shaping and planar surface refinement in both clinical and laboratory settings.
