#14 Carbide Small Barrel Flat Top Drill Bit XC is a nail drill bit. Its main job is remove work.
Before you start
Choosing a bit is two questions: which area of each nail, and how much product to remove. Barrels work the surface, cones and needles reach the cuticle area. Drill bits do the heavy lifting in modern prep and removal. Shape decides where a bit works (surface, sidewalls or cuticle area) and grit decides how fast it removes.
