Podoland Podiatry Finishing Bit

A finishing bit in solid tungsten carbide, with fine spiral cuts set at an angle chosen for podiatry composite.

Cut density is what separates a finishing bit from a reduction bit. These cuts are close enough together that the bit takes material evenly instead of digging in, so you can work a surface flat rather than chasing the hollows you have just made.

Solid carbide throughout, not a coated steel body, which is why it holds its edge in composite.

Finished with a DLC (diamond-like carbon) coating. It is extremely hard and it resists wear and corrosion, which is what you want on a bit that spends its life at high RPM: the coating is the part that decides how many treatments you get before the cut goes dull.

Care

Clean and disinfect between clients like any other reusable instrument. Let it dry fully before it goes back in the block: a bit put away damp is how a shank starts to corrode where you cannot see it.
