Foredom Typhoon Taper Coarse 3/16 X 3/4 2.35mm

Description:

The Typhoon taper coarse 3/16 x 3/4 2.35mm is a high-performance laboratory trimming bur used for aggressive material removal on a variety of dental appliances. Built with Typhoon�s signature open-flute cutting structure, it resists clogging and heat accumulation, enabling continuous, efficient shaping even on dense or freshly processed acrylics. The tapered profile provides a blend of precision and cutting force. Its narrow tip allows access into restricted areas such as embrasures, gingival notches, and deep interdental zones, while its wider base offers optimal control when reducing bulk on denture borders, palatal contours, or occlusal guard surfaces. The coarse cutting grade is specifically designed for the earliest stages of shaping, removing significant material quickly while maintaining predictable tool behavior. The 3/4" head length gives adequate reach for extended trimming strokes without creating excessive leverage in the handpiece. The 2.35mm shank is compatible with standard dental lab micromotors and straight handpieces, ensuring stable, vibration-minimized rotation for precise shaping. This bur is frequently selected for tasks such as trimming denture bases post-processing, contouring orthodontic appliance margins, reshaping thermoplastic aligner edges, adjusting occlusal guards, and reducing excess resin after relines or repairs. The Typhoon coarse design also minimizes frictional heat, preventing distortion, cracking, or surface glazing on heat-sensitive materials. Its durability and resistance to clogging make it a reliable tool for repetitive laboratory production where speed is important but control must be preserved.
