STAR TOOL Smooth Top Drill Bit
The STAR TOOL Smooth Top Drill Bit is designed for safe, efficient shaping, smoothing, and product removal. The rounded smooth safety top makes it easier to work close to the cuticle area while helping reduce the risk of cutting or irritating the surrounding skin.
Its barrel-style body provides consistent contact with the nail surface, making it a versatile choice for acrylic, hard gel, dip powder, and gel polish removal. Available in multiple grits so nail technicians can choose the right level of cutting power for each service.
Fine
Best for gentle smoothing, refining, and finishing.
- Smooths acrylic and dip powder after shaping
- Refines uneven or bumpy surfaces
- Blends product near the cuticle area
- Lightly shapes hard gel
- Great for final finishing before buffing or polish
Medium
A versatile everyday grit for shaping and refining.
- Shapes acrylic, dip powder, and hard gel
- Smooths and levels enhancement surfaces
- Removes gel polish from enhancements
- Reduces moderate bulk
- Great for fills, rebalance services, and general maintenance
Coarse
Designed for faster product reduction and removal.
- Removes gel polish quickly
- Debulks acrylic and hard gel
- Reduces thick dip powder
- Shortens and reshapes enhancements
- Removes old product before fills or rebalancing
X Coarse
Ideal for fast, aggressive product removal.
