STALEKS PRO EXPERT Carbide Nail Drill Bit Corn, 4 mm, Green / Coarse (FT90G040/14)

STALEKS PRO EXPERT Carbide Nail Drill Bit Corn, 4 mm, Green / Coarse (FT90G040/14)

The STALEKS PRO EXPERT solid carbide drill bit in the Corn shape (coarse / green grit) is an all-metal, heavy-duty tool designed for professional hardware manicures and pedicures. Unlike standard abrasives, high-quality carbide cutters operate by shaving the material into thin chips rather than creating fine dust, keeping the workspace cleaner.

During operation, the cutter moves smoothly without grabbing or skipping. It carefully removes hard coatings, leaving a smooth surface behind. Engineered for high resistance to corrosion and wear, this bit ensures comfort, safety, and a clean result.

Key Features & Specifications

Key Applications

• Manicure & Extensions: Rapid removal of hard artificial coatings (gel, acrylic, gel polish), prepping nails for extensions, and correcting the shape and thickness of extended nails.

• Pedicure & Podiatry: Safe and highly efficient treatment of keratinized skin areas, clearing dense calluses, and removing corns.

Recommended Operating Speeds

Always adjust the speed based on the specific procedure to avoid overheating the bit or injuring the client.

• Maximum recommended speed for gel polish removal: Up to 18,000 RPM.

• Natural Nails & Skin: 5,000–15,000 RPM (filing, reducing thickness, cuticle work, grinding side ridges).

• Artificial Nails: 15,000–25,000 RPM (thickness reduction, coating removal, shaping).

• Pedicure: 5,000–30,000+ RPM (from skin polishing to treating deep core calluses).

Care, Cleaning & Sterilization

STALEKS PRO carbide bits withstand all standard methods of cold and hot sterilization (except for disinfectant solutions based on active oxygen, which can cause corrosion).

1. Initial Cleaning: Remove the bit immediately after use. Use a soft brush to carefully sweep away dust and debris. Do not scrub under running water to prevent splashing potential pathogens.

2. Disinfection: Soak the bit in a certified disinfectant solution (proven against Hepatitis and dermatomycosis) according to the manufacturer’s time and concentration guidelines.

3. Deep Cleaning: Immerse the bit in an ultrasonic cleaner with warm soapy water or enzymatic detergent for 10–15 minutes to break down stubborn debris.

4. Sterilization: Place the dry bit in a sterilization pouch. Safe for Dry-Heat Ovens (e.g., 180°C for 60 mins) or Autoclaves (e.g., 132°C at 2 atm for 20 mins). Allow the tool to cool down naturally for at least 1 hour after autoclaving to prevent thermal shock.

5. Storage: Store fully dried bits in a clean, sterile, and closed container away from moisture and dust.

When to Replace Your Carbide Bit

To ensure safety and efficiency, replace your bit if you notice any of the following:

• Dullness: The cutting blades have lost their shine, feel smooth to the touch, or are permanently clogged with material.

• Decreased Efficiency: It takes longer to remove material, or you find yourself needing to press harder on the nail plate.

• Vibration or Heat: The bit begins to vibrate or causes a burning sensation during coating removal.

• Physical Damage: The bit is dropped, resulting in micro-chips, a bent shank, or an off-center rotation. Never use a bent cutter, as it will vibrate, cause client discomfort, and rapidly wear out your e-file’s micro-motor.

Note: The manufacturer is currently undergoing a branding and packaging redesign. The placement and physical appearance of the laser-engraved brand logo may vary slightly from the product photo.
