The difference between carbide and diamond bits

The difference between carbide nail drill bits and diamond nail drill bits.

Not only are carbide nail drill bits known for gel polish removal and shaping, they are also loved for their strength and longevity. They are usually made from a mixture of tungsten and carbon, making for a strong and durable manicure tool. These nail drill bits have sharp cutting edges that can easily remove polish and shape artificial nails. Their strength allows them to be used for a long time without losing their effectiveness.

Of course, it’s worth noting that before we start using carbide nail drill bits, we need to understand whether they are likely to cause harm. Staying in one spot too long or applying too much pressure when using a carbide nail drill bit can cause serious injury and deck damage. So we need to use slow and smooth techniques when removing gel nail polish and shaping nails.

Diamond nail drill bits are known for lifting and removing cuticles and refining nail edges. They are made from fine diamond particles embedded in a solid metal base, making them wear-resistant. This allows them to quickly remove dead skin cells and create a clean, flawless appearance on the back edges of your fingers.

Diamond nail drill bits come in a variety of grit sizes, from fine to coarse. The most common grind types are soft (red), medium  (blue), and coarse (green). For delicate tasks like cuticle removal, choose a fine-grit diamond nail bit to minimize the risk of damaging your natural nails. To shape and groom your nails, consider using a medium to coarse grit. For beginners, it is best to choose softer gravel to avoid injury and damage.

When using a diamond nail drill bit, it’s crucial to keep your touch light and let the tool do its work. Applying excessive pressure may cause heat buildup or remove too much skin, causing discomfort to the client. Just slide the diamond nail bit over the surface of your nails or cuticles to easily remove any imperfections.

Proper maintenance of your drill bits

It’s important to know the proper care and maintenance techniques to ensure the longevity and effectiveness of your manicure tools.

First, it is crucial to clean the nail drill bit after each use. Use a small brush to gently scrub away any debris or product buildup that may have accumulated. Be sure to remove all residue from the nail drill bit’s grooves and edges to maintain its sharpness.

Next, disinfect the nail drill bit by soaking it in a disinfectant solution. This will help eliminate any bacteria that may be transferred during use.

Finally, the nail drill bit should also be inspected for any signs of wear or damage. If you notice any chips, cracks, or dull edges, it’s time to replace the nail drill bit. Using a damaged nail drill bit not only affects the quality of your manicure but also puts your client at risk of injury.
