Broca para clavos L-Smooth Top (mediana) 3/32"

1. Insert the bit fully into the handpiece and lock it; run it briefly at low speed to check it spins true.
2. Hold the handpiece like a pencil and position the bit at the correct angle to the nail surface.
3. Medium grit is forgiving, so build speed gradually and let the bit do the work with light, even pressure.
4. Keep the working surface flat and guide the smooth top towards the cuticle area without pressing.
5. Keep the bit moving in smooth, light passes and never pause in one spot.
6. Refine with a finer bit or buffer before applying colour or top coat.
7. After the service, brush away debris, clean and disinfect the bit according to your local regulations, and dry it fully before storing.

• Relying on the smooth top as a guarantee: The smooth top reduces risk but does not replace care; keep light pressure near the skin.
• Expecting medium to do a coarse job: Using medium for heavy bulk removal adds time and heat; start heavy removals with a coarse bit and switch to medium to shape.
• Pausing in one spot: Holding the bit still concentrates friction and heat; keep it moving in smooth passes.
• Pressing too hard: Pressure creates heat and discomfort; use light contact and let the grit do the work.
• Skipping bit cleaning: Packed debris dulls the bit and is unhygienic; brush, clean and disinfect after every client.

Why choose a smooth top bit for gel fills?

The smooth top lets you file product right up towards the cuticle area with less risk of touching the skin. That makes it easier to blend the new growth area neatly.

When should I choose medium over coarse?

Choose medium when the enhancement needs thinning and shaping rather than heavy bulk removal, such as a two- or three-week fill. It gives more control and a smoother surface that is quicker to refine.

How do I clean a carbide bit properly?

Remove dust with a cleaning brush, then clean and disinfect according to your local hygiene regulations and dry the bit completely. Moisture left in the flutes can lead to rust and reduce cutting performance.

My client feels heat during filing. What should I change?

Heat means friction is building in one place, so lower the speed, lighten your pressure and keep the bit moving. Lifting off the nail briefly between passes also lets the surface cool.

How do I know when the bit needs replacing?

If you need more pressure or more passes than usual to get the same result, the bit is worn or clogged. Clean it thoroughly first; if performance does not return, replace it.
