Types of cutters for hardware manicure
The cutters available on the market have different shapes, sizes, hardness and degree of abrasiveness. Each cutter has its own purpose.
Ceramic cutters. Does not give in to corrosion, does not heat up during rotation, ledges on a mill are not clogged with dust. Treat skin and nails, side rollers and cuticle. Ceramic cutters can be of different shapes and have different grain sizes. Perfect for those who are just learning to do a manicure. Ceramics are insensitive to chemical disinfectant solutions, they can be heated in an autoclave or oven. Most often such nozzles have average abrasiveness. If it is required to carry out processing of a rigid covering, it is better to get very firm nozzles. For treatment of the skin around the nail plate, removal of the cuticle, you should prefer attachments with a fine abrasive.
Feature of ceramic mills - fragility. They must be handled with care - falling to the floor threatens to chip the surface.
Diamond cutters. Such tools are suitable for work both with gentle skin and brittle nails, and with the thickened plate, artificial materials for building. Cut the free edge of the nail and rough areas of skin. These tools are used by real professionals in their work: the cutters allow you to process the nail surface with maximum precision and accuracy. Diamond nozzles are natural and artificial. But the latter in the work quickly blunt and crumble, so give preference to natural diamond crumb. The size of the presented nozzles defines area of their application. If you want to treat the cuticle and the skin around it, you should install a small cutter in the cartridge. If you use the largest varieties of this tool, you can remove calluses. It is also one of the safest types of rotating tools.
Feature of diamond mills - do not heat up during work, well process skin and a nail on low-power devices: to 20 thousand. rpm
Corundum cutters. Suitable for processing natural, artificial nails, skin in the cuticle and feet. Made of crystalline alumina - artificial ruby. Its soft abrasive properties are used for gentle treatment of sensitive skin. The risk of injury to corundum cutters for hardware manicure is extremely low, so we recommend them to novice masters.
Feature of corundum mills - preservation of the properties even at abrasion of a nozzle.
Carbide cutters. This category includes both metal and cutters made of other hard alloys. Made of a mixture of metals based on tungsten. They have no equal when working with the cuticle, side rollers, but natural nails should be handled with care due to the high risk of injury. Therefore it is usually recommended to use these mills for work with an artificial covering. They will cope with cutting of length, correction, formation of edge after building.
