Knowing how to choose the right bits is very important when you work on the nail. This includes the grit and material you will need the bit’s compatible with your nail drill shank size.
Shank Size
The standard nail drill shank size is 3/32.″ or 2.35mm.Remember that the shank size of electric nail files that are for craft use is usually 1/8″ and they will not fit a professional electric file.
You can measure the grit of your nail drill bit by the number of abrasive partials per square inch. The more partials you have, the smaller they are.
In coarse bits, for example, you will see large partials on the bit and the number of grits will be lower.
Buy only high-quality bits which will do the work perfectly. Many times low-quality bits may remove product unevenly and can be difficult to work with. Make sure you are replacing your bits every 3-4 months (depends on how much you actually use them).
You should make sure your bits don’t “wobble” when you connect them to your nail drill. If your bit is“wobbling” ,it might be damaged or the e-file machine can be damaged.
