ÜLKA Green Spike Carbide Burr – 5mm head, 13mm active part (C513-C)
The ÜLKA green spike carbide burr (ref. C513-C) is a highly specialized professional tool, designed for nail experts, nail prosthetists, nail artists, and also for those passionate about home manicure. With a 5mm head and an active area of 13mm, this burr combines precision, efficiency, and safety for all your meticulous work on natural or artificial nails.
Technical Characteristics
Fully made of high-quality tungsten carbide, the burr ensures excellent resistance to wear, heat, and minor impacts. The green spike profile means a finer cut and a less abrasive grain compared to the red spike, which reduces the risk of trauma to the nail plate. The 5mm head allows reaching sensitive areas like the cuticles or the sides of the nail, while the 13mm active part gives you room to work on the length or in the corners, with good control.
Advantages in Your Professional Practice
- Smooth finish: the finer grain of the green spike provides a smoother surface after passing, reducing the need for intensive sanding.
- Less heat: thanks to a gentler work, less friction, thus less sensation of heat which can be uncomfortable for the client.
- Versatile: perfect for removing semi-permanent polish, refining glue residues, or preparing the nail surface for a pose without damaging the natural nail.
- High durability: very resistant carbide, keep the burr for a long time with appropriate uses.
- Enhanced safety: spike profile reduces the risk of slipping, ideal in delicate areas of the free edge or near the cuticles.
Recommended Usage
Before any intervention, thoroughly disinfect the burr using a suitable disinfectant. Mount it on your electric file or drill according to the model specifications. For optimal use, employ a moderate speed, between 10,000 and 18,000 rpm, depending on the material (gel, acrylic, natural nail) to avoid overheating and protect the carbide. Work with light and controlled movements, without pressing hard, keeping the burr in constant motion. Regularly clean the residues to prevent accumulation that could alter precision or damage the tool. After use, proceed with sterilization according to your protocol (autoclave or equivalent), complete drying, then store in a safe case to avoid impacts or corrosion.
Why Choose the Green Spike Version C513-C

This burr is ideal when you want to avoid visible marks, regardless of the material you are working on. The green spike provides you with cutting finesse, while maintaining the strength and robustness of carbide.
