Broca para clavos - Broca cilíndrica grande (mediana) - 3/32"

1. Insert the bit fully into the handpiece and lock it in place; run it briefly at low speed to check it spins true.
2. Hold the handpiece like a pencil and keep the barrel flat and parallel to the nail surface.
3. Start at a low speed and increase gradually to a comfortable working speed for your drill and product.
4. Use light pressure and keep the bit moving in smooth side-to-side passes; never pause in one spot.
5. Work from the free edge towards the cuticle area, stopping short of the skin, to thin and shape the enhancement.
6. Switch to a finer bit or buffer to refine the surface before applying colour or top coat.
7. After the service, brush away debris, clean and disinfect the bit according to your local hygiene regulations, and dry completely before storing.

• Tilting the barrel: Angling the bit digs the edge into the product and leaves grooves; keep the barrel flat against the surface.
• Pressing too hard: Extra pressure creates heat and discomfort for the client; let the grit do the work with light, moving strokes.
• Running too fast for the product: High speed on soft gel can cause friction heat; start low and build up only as needed.
• Working near the cuticle: A large barrel is too broad for the cuticle zone; switch to a smaller cuticle bit for that area.
• Skipping bit cleaning: Packed debris dulls the cutting surface and is unhygienic; brush, clean and disinfect after every client.

When should I choose a medium large barrel over a coarse one?

Reach for medium when the enhancement needs thinning and shaping rather than heavy bulk removal, such as a routine two- or three-week fill. Coarse is better reserved for removing large amounts of hard product; medium gives you more control and a smoother surface to refine.

Why does the surface look patchy after I use the bit?

Patchiness usually comes from uneven pressure or a tilted barrel, which removes more product on one side. Keep the barrel flat, use consistent light pressure, and finish with a fine bit or buffer to blend any remaining ridges.

Can I use this bit on natural nails?

A large barrel is designed for reducing enhancement product, not for filing the natural nail plate. For natural nail prep, use a fine-grit bit or hand file with very light pressure to avoid thinning the plate.

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

Heat means friction is concentrating in one place, so lower your speed, lighten your pressure and keep the bit moving continuously. 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 achieve the same result, the flutes are likely worn or clogged. Clean it thoroughly first; if performance does not return, replace it to protect both your results and your client's comfort.
