Frequently Asked Questions
▸ How do I choose a drill bit for manicure?
Choose the bit type based on the task: diamond (DIAMOND) bits are suitable for cuticle work, ceramic (CERAMIC) bits for gel polish removal, carbide bits for fast material removal, and silicone polishers for buffing the nail plate. The shape (cone, ball, cylinder) is selected according to the area being treated.
▸ What is the difference between diamond and ceramic drill bits?
Diamond bits are ideal for precise cuticle and sidewall work as well as polishing, while ceramic bits remove gel polish or acrylic faster and generate less heat on the nail. You will find both types in our collection (EXO PRO DIAMOND and EXO CERAMIC).
▸ What does the colored ring on a drill bit mean (red, blue)?
The colored ring indicates the grit level: blue (BL) stands for medium grit, and red (RD) stands for fine grit, intended for gentler and more precise work. Beginners are safer choosing bits marked red or blue.
▸ What size drill bit is suitable for cuticle work?
For cuticles and sidewalls, smaller bits are most commonly used, e.g. DIAMOND BALL 1.4–1.8 mm or CONE 1.2–2.1 mm shapes. Pointed shapes allow you to reach the cuticle precisely without damaging the nail.
▸ How often should drill bits be replaced?
Heavily used bits should be replaced every 3–6 months, when cutting efficiency decreases or the bit starts to overheat. Ceramic and diamond bits last longer if they are regularly cleaned with a wire brush and disinfected.
▸ How should drill bits be cleaned and disinfected?
After use, bits are cleaned with a wire brush (e.g. D-13), then washed and disinfected or sterilized. For storage, it is convenient to use a drill bit stand so the bits do not touch each other and do not become dull.
