Nail Drill Bits Explained for Beginners

[@candacecox6476]

You were BORN to be a teacher. Simple, easy to understand instructions and rationales and a summary at the end. I learned so much. THANK YOU!

[@NewNailTechSuccess]

Thank you Candace. I love sharing knowledge. I'm glad the video helped. Thanks for watching.

The diamond bits (the bits referred to as cheap) are great prep bits. They are great for removing cuticle on the nail bed and closing off hang nails. Also they can exfoliate rough skin around the nail plate and make it smooth. I never cared for them before until I found use for them, now I use them with every set.

[@NewNailTechSuccess]

By Natasha Thanks for letting me know. I was like why do they keep giving these good-for-nothing bits with every drill I buy. Lol. I'll have to try for prep.

[@Betty-qd8st]

By Natasha I love those bits. They are amazing to remove cuticle and little mistakes. Im no pro , i do my own nails and im always learning somthing new.

[@simone897]

i liked this video cause you sound like an aunt I never had, great use of words and nail lingo, I'm not confused and I learned ! so thank you and nail on!

[@NewNailTechSuccess]

Simone Hi Simone glad the video helped you.Thanks for watching.

[@cammydunn2675]

Hiya Rita! The stem that you show first is to be kept in your hand piece during storage. It will protect the chuck if the hand piece is dropped. The diamond bits are safe for natural nails. The small football shape is great for removing remaining pterygium after pushing cuticles. I purchased a wire brush that looks like a pen, the wires can be retracted when not being used, from Atwood Industries. I love it, it cleans the bits and they work like new again. I also soak them in acetone or brush remover to keep them debris free. I haven't purchased any ceramic bits yet, thanks for giving some info on them. Bits can be a big investment, it's important to know which will work and not just sit in a drawer. Thank you for sharing! I always look forward to your videos :-)

[@NewNailTechSuccess]

[@mrs.jamiehaven4122]

U are extremely pleasant to listen to, u seem positive and knowledgeable, however, I am watching to understand what each bit does and I TOTALLY understand wanting to do the job right, and doing so with the tools u use to do so. Unfortunately when you said "These are the cheap bits that came with the drill!" I know you are displeased with those cheap ones, but as a beginner, having just purchased the machine those "cheap ones" are all I have and I want to know how to use them and what they're used for. But, thanks, I'm gonna scroll to see if you have anything that will help me, cause like I said, so far I enjoyed watching your videos! Have a blessed day! 😎

[@NewNailTechSuccess]

Jamie Callaway Hi Jamie by no means did I say "cheap bits that came with the drill to discourage you" or sound like a snob. . I only meant that for me they do not do a good job taking down or shaping the acrylic. By all means try them out to get used to your drill and buy better bits as you see fit and can afford to. I am all about saving a buck when I can as this can get very expensive. Hope I clarified things.

[@DS-oopa]

I don't even do nails and *rarely* wear acrylics, but this was interesting to learn why nail techs/manicurists use these tools. Cool video. 👌🏿

@New Nail Tech Success I own a battery-operated one and a few bits to use with it...I do know what most of them are used for, but I don't know what the other bits are used for.....if that makes sense?

[@amariev226]

This is a very educational video! I did not know the bits had size numbers: 332. Good to know. I will say I saw someone state that nails are different ie, some people have softer nails and some people hard nails, so perhaps those bits you don't use, might be useful for the soft nailed people. Again, thanks for this information!

[@NewNailTechSuccess]

Glad it was helpful.

I have a question about the shank size of the carbide drill bits. I like using the old Dremel hang drill with the foot paddle. I have had issues with the chuck's Center piece accepting the 3/32 shank to fit the Dremel drill as well as the Desk Top E-file. Any suggestions?

[@NewNailTechSuccess]

Is the drill that you are using, the one that hangs down with the foot paddle, for nails? Because if it's not then this could be the reason why. All nails only drills work with the 3/32 bit that is the the industry standard. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching.

Am just now getting started on doing nails on me and my teen daughter and I wanted to know what is the best beginner nail fail cuz I have messed me and her up using a hand file i was way too rough smh.

[@NewNailTechSuccess]

I suggest that you learn how to properly use the hand file so that you are not too rough because it will be more damaging to use an electric file if you haven't learned how to be gentle with a handle file. This video will help you learn a hand filing technique. Thanks for watching. kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5zYgpaFq7yYqJo

[@myranda0059]

If any of your bits are shredding acrylic, that acrylic is NOT dry yet. Using any bit too soon will shred it, I know, I used to do only one nail at a time and was inpatient. If you do at least three at a time, you can find the first one ready. Also, everyone needs to know that with acrylic it takes 24-48 hours for it to FINAL CURE, which means it is subject to loosing pinching and breakage which can happen with thin nail beds where the client is wearing them too long. I also love all drill bits, including the ones coming with the cheap drills since all cheap drills for are home manicures and pedicures and not intended to be used for heavy acrylic work, it works fine for gel as gel is soft and easy to file, so don’t throw out those drill bits.I use sanding bands for natural nails as well as the stone bit, at the end of the day it’s all about a persons level of experience and practice.

[@danniiredd7462]

With your favorite Calbine bit do you put the sandpaper one on top? Or how do you clean it between different people?

[@NewNailTechSuccess]

The sandpaper band is only used one time. You get a new one for each client. The carbide bits are disinfected. You should have at least 2 disinfected bits you use the most. Then you will always have a disinfected to use between clients.

[@cj378]

Hello, Thank you for posting this video. I have a question. The gold part that you slide the bit into, before tightening it...What is that part called? I broke mine and need to replace it. it has 3 prongs and opens up sort of like a flower.

[@NewNailTechSuccess]

Hi. I know the part you're referring to but don't know the technical name. However, I don't know if you can just replace that part or the whole handpiece. I would check with the manufacturer or seller of the e-file

[@crystalbradley4216]

Great videos I have watched quite a few tonight and subscribed! So for the extra fine and fine bits you mentioned you just bought at the end of the video can I use those on natural nails? I am looking for a bit to use to do my cuticle areas on my feet and hands before applying gel polish or fake nails. Then can i just use the medium sanding bits to take off some of the gel polish when I am removing it? I have been just soaking it off with acetone but that is such a pain and time consuming! Thank you for taking the time to teach us!

[@NewNailTechSuccess]

Crystal Bradley You can use the fine sanding band to remove the shine but go lightly and try to go over it only once so that you don't thin the nail. To remove gel polish you will need a coarse CARBIDE bit not a coarse sanding band, which I have in the description of this video. Thanks for watching and subscribing.

[@crystalbradley4216]

awesome, thank you for responding!

[@regeenaps]

What bit or burr that you use for callus and corn debridement?

[@ceknott]

Hello you say you have the three carbide ones but when do you use them please?

[@NewNailTechSuccess]

I use the carbide ones to shape the acrylic after laying it. I have a fine medium and coarse. I usually just use the fine since my application of the acrylic is pretty smooth. Thanks for watching.

[@missouriprideusa6241]

Don't underestimate the drill bits that are cheap. I've used them and they work great for me. I have a Vogue drill from Amazon that is battery operated and the mandrels work great on dog nails. she hates having her nails clip and this drill works great. she holds still and I think she likes it.

[@Sabrina-nl8me]

Hi! I found this video very useful. I have a few questions. 1 i know that we're supposed to take the shine off of the natural nails for any gel or acrylic purposes, but are we supposed to make sure the nail is rough too or is it okay for them to be kept smooth; does it effect how the acrylic/gel sticks? 2 which bit would you say you'd use on your acrylic nail to prep for painting the nail with regular polish vs. gel (fine, medium, course) (ceramic, carbide, etc)

[@NewNailTechSuccess]

Sabrina Hi Removing the shine is enough no need to rough up the nail bed because you don't want to make it too thin. Using a dehydrator and nail prep will be enough. For regular polish and gel on natural nails I don't use a bit but just a buffer to smooth nail bed for easy application. Hope this helps.

[@myranda0059]

Nail shouldn’t be shiny, gel doesn’t adhere to shiny surfaces, acrylic really only needs Acid primer but I always put down a clear bead so I don’t need to constantly remove everything when I change designs etc. a regular sanding band (fine) is good enough for preparing the nail, just make sure if you are using gel it is a non acid primer, and with acrylic it is an Acid primer on the nail bed.

[@BajaRosie]

the ceramic bits come in coarse medium and soft try a soft ceramic and im sure you will love it!!!

Engels Alhambra Hi did you mean wood or wool bits?

[@engels.a]

wool. the heads are covered with smooth wool instead of rough/teeth surface.

[@NewNailTechSuccess]

Sorry about the delay. I had never heard of wool bits so I had to research it. Wool bits are bits that you can use to file acrylic like other bits but the are said to be softer than other products, protecting your nails during polishing and create less dust with little friction and heat. Thanks for bringing these to my attention I may have to try these and do a review.

I come to find out the grit of each band and which is coarse and which is a finer grit.o Essentially what the grits of nail fillers are, I forgot I do know 180 is coarse. I think So I'm assuming 80 grit is finer. I think.lol

[@NewNailTechSuccess]

An 80 grit is coarser than an 180. With files and buffers the higher the number the SOFTER the grit. And the lower the number the ROUGHER the grit. Thanks for watching.

Sanding bands are suppose to be used when you fill in gel nails? I hate when my nail tech uses them. They just run it across my cutcicles, that hurts. Can I ask her to use something else?

[@NewNailTechSuccess]

JustSimply Marie It's no rule that they have to use a sanding band for fill ins. And yes you can ask them to use something else or just be careful. Sorry this happens to you. A service should never be painful.

[@simpsonmarie4]

Thank you. What else can I ask them to use?

[@NewNailTechSuccess]

JustSimply Marie They can usd the safety bit like the one I showed in the video. It won't hurt the skin.

[@simpsonmarie4]

Thanks. I will ask her next time to use the safety bit.
