Recommendations

Safety
To ensure optimal performance and client comfort, follow these essential safety practices when working with e-file bits:

  1. Use Proper Speed & Pressure
    Each bit type is designed for a specific speed range. Using an incorrect RPM may cause excess heat or damage.
    Maintain a light, controlled touch—excessive pressure can lead to discomfort or injury.
  2. Prevent Overheating
    Always keep the bit in motion during use. Prolonged contact in one area may generate heat, resulting in a burning sensation for the client.
  3. Select the Right Bit for the Service
    Using a coarse bit on a natural nail may thin or damage the nail plate.
    Always choose finer grit bits for gentle prep work or natural nail services.
  4. Sanitize & Disinfect Thoroughly
    All bits must be cleaned, disinfected, and sterilized between uses to prevent cross-contamination.
    Never reuse bits between clients without proper sterilization.
  5. Handle with Care
    Dropping or mishandling bits can compromise their integrity.
    Store them in a clean, dry holder to protect them from damage and contamination.
    Avoid aggressive filing near the cuticle area.
  6. Monitor for Wear and Tear
    Bits should be replaced if they become dull, rusted, or damaged. A worn bit can increase friction and reduce service quality.
  7. Minimize Dust Exposure
    Wear a protective mask and use a dust collector when filing, particularly when working with acrylics or gels, to reduce airborne particles.
  8. Prioritize Client Comfort
    Check in with clients regularly. If they experience heat or sensitivity, adjust your technique immediately.

Maintenance
Maintaining your bits ensures longer life and consistent, professional-grade performance:

  1. Remove Dust & Debris
    After each use, clean bits using a nylon brush or bit cleaner to eliminate surface residue.
  2. Wash Gently
    Rinse under warm running water using a soft brush and mild soap.
    Avoid prolonged soaking of metal bits to prevent corrosion.
  3. Disinfect Effectively
    Soak in an EPA-registered disinfectant per the manufacturer's recommended time.
    Limit soaking time for diamond or carbide bits to preserve integrity.
  4. Dry Completely
    Air dry on a lint-free towel or use compressed air to eliminate moisture, especially from crevices.
  5. Store Properly
    Keep bits in a designated, dry, and sanitized holder.
    Avoid storing in humid or unclean environments.
  6. Replace as Needed
    Inspect regularly for signs of dullness, damage, or rust.
    Replace any bit that no longer performs safely and efficiently.

I normally like Apres products, but this is a dud if you are doing your own nails or are a leftie. I contacted them before purchaching and they told me that this bit was two way rotation. They seemed baffled, in fact, by what I meant (???). It means that for left handed users and/or if you're working on yourself with your non-dominant hand the cuts in the ceramic are sharp in either rotation (forward when you are moving counterclockwise or reverse when you are moving clockwise- usually lefties or when doing your non dominant hand). I've been doing nails a long, long time and was excited and ordered it immediately because two way rotation is not common in ceramic bits and certainly not ceramic cuticle bits (cone or flame). I experimented right out of the box and found that it is exactly like other brands that are forward rotation only (clockwise) and the friction only works well when running it right to left, just like all the others on the market (I've since found Grandado are they ARE two way rotation). There is some friction when running it backwards but not nearly what is needed for it's purpose (in my case, sealing the cuticle after gel x application). Waste of money.

This drill bit made all the difference in the world when it comes to the cuticle area and those delicate places or gel overflow clean up. Love it!!!
