How speed is defined.
Revolutions per minute(rpm)
Measurement of abrasive particles per square inch.
Grit
They are used to shorten length and shape the surface of the nail.
sanding/arbor bands and/or mandrels
Speed used for surface work on enhancements
Fast
What's created when we don't lift the e-file occasionally.
Heat
The ability for the machine to keep turning when pressure is applied.
Torque
Made with it's metal namesake, with flute-like cuts that shave the enhancement.
Can be used at the cuticle, underneath the nail, on top of the nail, and prepping cuticle area for a refill.
tapered barrel bits

Medium
Caused by the wrong angle of the bit or using a flat-tipped bit near the cuticle.
Ring of Fire

Diamond
Bits as slim as the shank and used for removing cuticle tissue from the nail plate.
prepper or cuticle bits

French fill bits
The term for the pinky or finger when its used to help balance your hands when e-filing.
Fulcrum finger (or anchor)
This bit placement will help prevent rings of fire.
Parallel
___________ torque = more power = ___________ speed
high, low
A safety bit that is great for beginners
Swiss carbide
Used on feet to take down calluses
pedicure bits
Potential speeds on an e-file.
0-35,000rpm
Generates more heat than metal bits.
