ÜLKA Carbide Burr Green Cone - Head 6mm, Active Part 15mm (C615-C)

The ÜLKA green cone carbide burr, with its 6mm head and 15mm active part, is a sanding tool designed to meet the technical requirements of nail prosthetists and experienced nail artists. Its green grit corresponds to a medium to hard cut, particularly effective for quickly removing material while maintaining a good level of control. Its conical shape provides smooth work on curved areas, large surfaces, or the lateral edges of the nail, without damaging the natural nail plate when used correctly.

A Powerful Tool for Removal and Shaping

This burr is ideal for removing thick constructions such as hard gels, acrygel, or resin. Its robust tungsten carbide structure allows for efficient work without losing precision. It is particularly useful during refills or to prepare the nail for a new application. The cone profile facilitates access to delicate areas without the risk of injury if the tool is handled properly.

When used for material removal, it is recommended to choose a speed between 10,000 and 18,000 revolutions per minute, depending on the material and the power of your grinder. A gentle motion, without excessive pressure, allows for the removal of gel or resin without creating deep streaks or generating too much heat.

Practical Tips for Optimal Use

To maximize the efficiency of this burr while protecting your clients, some good practices are essential:

• Always clean and disinfect the burr before each use, even if it's for the same client.
• Adjust the speed of your grinder to the desired work. Too low a speed can snag, too high a speed may overheat.
• Work continuously, without staying stationary on one area, to avoid unpleasant heating, especially on sensitive nails.
• Do not use this burr on raw natural nails, except to smooth a very thin layer of base gel. It is designed for technical materials, not for direct application on the nail plate.
• Regularly clear away residues with a vacuum or brush to maintain good visibility.

Specific Uses in Salon or Mobile Services

For nail prosthetists in salons, this burr is perfect for consecutive applications without loss of performance. It allows for quick and clean removal, reducing the time needed for manual filing afterwards. In mobile services, where time is often limited and equipment more compact, it becomes a valuable asset to lighten your sessions while ensuring impeccable results.

It is also effective for leveling the surface after construction, refining resin bumps, or correcting imperfections without having to remove everything. Its larger diameter covers more in a single pass, which is very practical for long shapes like coffin, ballerina, or Russian almond.

Maintenance and Durability

Like all carbide tools, this burr requires regular maintenance to maintain its effectiveness. After each use, rinse it under water if possible, or use a soft metal brush to remove embedded dust. It can be disinfected cold with a suitable product or sterilized hot if your protocol allows.

It is essential to never knock the head against hard surfaces or drop it, as this could damage its teeth or render it unusable. A rigid storage cap is recommended to avoid premature wear. Well maintained, it can support several hundred services without loss of effectiveness.

Adapted for Advanced Techniques

This milling cutter is particularly useful for professionals who work on technical poses, with regular clients or models in training. It allows for fast work while maintaining great control over the final result. Its green grain prevents deep marks while effectively removing material. It is perfect for preparing a surface before a babyboomer, a sugar effect, or any other effect that requires a perfectly smooth and uniform base.

It easily fits into the routine of all prosthetists who want to increase efficiency without compromising the quality of the outcome. Its versatility makes it a reliable value to be included in any professional kit.
