Nail Drill Bits

Types of milling cutter attachments and their features

• Diamond - ideal for processing cuticles, side ridges and rough areas of the skin. They provide precision and durability, and thanks to different levels of abrasiveness, they are suitable for all stages of manicure and pedicure.
• Carbide (metal) - designed to remove gel polish, acrylic and gel. Such attachments are highly wear-resistant and can last up to 5 years with proper care.
• Ceramic - softer compared to carbide, do not heat up during work and are recommended for novice craftsmen. They do a great job of removing coating and processing natural nails.
• Corundum - made of durable mineral, suitable for processing skin and grinding nails. They are used to prepare nails before applying coating.
• Silicone and carborundum - used at the final stage of manicure and pedicure for grinding and polishing the nail plate, as well as for working with skin.

Cutting bits and attachments for a milling machine - what is it for?

Choosing the right attachment for a milling machine plays a key role in achieving a high-quality manicure and pedicure. Below are the main shapes of the attachments and their purposes:​

• Needle: Used to process hard-to-reach areas, draw fine lines in nail design and work with the cuticle.​
• Ball: Effective for removing dead skin, polishing the side ridges and eliminating pterygium.​
• Flame: Designed for grinding, processing cracks, calluses and removing artificial coating.​
• Cone: Universal shape suitable for various manicure and pedicure techniques, including processing the side ridges and the surface of the nail.​
• Corn: Used to correct the shape of the nail, effectively remove gel and acrylic.​
• Cylinder: Ideal for working with tips, gel and acrylic, as well as for modeling the shape of nails.​
• Reverse cone: Helps prepare nails for a French manicure and shape the free edge.​

When choosing a milling cutter attachment, it is important to consider their shape, material and degree of abrasiveness to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the procedures. For example, diamond attachments are suitable for working with sensitive nails and cuticles, providing delicate processing. Ceramic cutters are softer and more delicate, which makes them ideal for beginners

How to choose a milling cutter attachment?

The choice of attachment depends on its hardness (abrasiveness), which is indicated by colored notches:

• White, yellow - ultra-soft, used for polishing and processing leather.
• Red - soft, suitable for working with natural nails and cuticles.
• Blue - medium hardness, a universal option for removing coating and grinding.
• Green - coarse, designed to remove a thick layer of material.
• Black - the hardest, used for processing pedicures and correcting artificial nails.

It is important for professionals to consider the material of the nail plate, the type of coating and the treatment area. You should also use different cutters for manicure and pedicure, as the skin on your hands and feet has a different structure.
