Foredom Taper Fine 3/16x3/4 2.35mm Tubed

Description:

Taper fine 3/16x3/4 2.35mm tubed is a laboratory-quality shaping bur intended for fine-detail contouring of acrylics, thermoplastics, and resin-based dental appliances. Its fine-cut structure is suited for technicians who need close control over surface refinement, making it ideal for delicate adjustments after coarse shaping but before finishing or polishing. Packaged in a sealed tube, the bur remains protected from dust, debris, and accidental damage, ensuring that cutting edges retain their sharpness. This hygienic packaging is particularly valuable in busy labs where burs are stored, transported, or assigned to specific workstations. The tapered design provides access into restricted areas such as interdental embrasures, undercut regions, gingival margins, and narrow internal relief zones. With its 3/4" length and 3/16" diameter, the bur strikes a balance between flexibility of movement and stability during micro-adjustments. The 2.35mm shank ensures compatibility with most dental lab handpieces. Its fine-cut abrasive pattern removes material slowly and uniformly, preventing chatter marks or gouging that can complicate final polishing. Technicians use this bur extensively during the final shaping of dentures, splints, orthodontic appliances, provisional crowns, retaining devices, and thermoplastic aligners. It is also valuable for refining reline material, adjusting repaired acrylic areas, and smoothing transitional geometry before rubberized polishing points. Overall, this bur supports careful craftsmanship by providing controlled shaping in delicate prosthetic zones, maintaining structural integrity while producing smoother, more predictable surfaces.
