DIY manicure router repair

In detail: do-it-yourself manicure milling cutter repair from a real master for the site my.housecope.com.

Today I want to talk about manicure and pedicure machines, because last week there was an epidemic of breakdowns of these machines.

The work of a modern nail modeling master is closely related to the manicure apparatus, since it greatly reduces the time for performing a technological operation. This means that the number of accepted clients per unit of time increases, which is directly proportional to the amount of earnings.
This device is also called drill, and engraver, and a milling cutter and a drill. But whatever the name of this apparatus, its function is to rotate at different speeds the cutting tool of the nozzle (cutter), with which the top layer of the material is processed (the nail and hardened areas of the skin in this case).
Working regularly, like all electromechanical tools, the parts of the apparatus wear out over time and the manicurist inevitably has to contact the repairmen.

The design of the handle - the manipulator of the manicure apparatus.

Attention! Never turn on the manicure device if there is no attachment in the spindle in a fixed position! This can damage the engine.

The drill began to warm up and its work became very noisy. It's time to replace the bearings. Do-it-yourself step-by-step replacement of parts.

the author will remove this garbage. show normally and take off not on sneakers.

Until I have earned a sneaker, and there is no need to delete it, someone will come in handy

What is the name of the spring that grips and releases the collet itself? The handle is 105l, the spring is flat and very tight, about 1.5cm or so long.

Collet spring, on the detailing on the Internet it is a 3-16 spring, there is also a lifting mechanism spring, but it is softer. It is most likely not sold separately, only with repairs.

What is it called on those. language?

I think it is problematic to find it separately, I have a donor for repair, he is fully functional, lies for replacement.

So I'm looking for this spring, how can I write it in a search engine? Handle 105l

A spring, it is a spring, and if we are talking about a part that squeezes, with ears, then this is a swivel sleeve

Thank you for the video. We have such a problem. On one handle, where the wire comes to it, one vein broke in the inside. Is it difficult to solder these wires? And there are also two broken blocks. At one point, the light bulbs stopped working, but nothing else happens. Of course, there are no repair shops, maybe you came across such a place to dig and what to do, you were tortured to buy new ones. Thanks in advance.

Video (click to play).

In a five-pin connector, the first and last contact

Timofey Evseev and where are the plus and minus in these plugs?

You are welcome. You can rewire the wire. Everything is probably in order in your blocks, but with wires there may be a fracture somewhere. Look at the handle whether the tension comes in or not. At the exit from the block on the connector, also check.

In the brush holder from the side where the cord is connected, what is the screw and how should it be tightened?

Michael the Wonderworker may have assembled it wrong, what is the sequence? - bearing, copper washer, rubber ring, screw! So?

Serg Basin is an adjustment for the thrust of the rear bearing, all bearings except the rear one are not tense, that is, they go back and forth on the shaft, except for the rear one, on one side it rests against the engine manifold through the washer, the second through a rubber and copper washer into this screw ... It must be tightened not to the stop, so that the bearing does not dangle and the engine spins easily, the idle current at max speed is not higher than 350 MA.

Maybe from vibration. You can drop a drop of a blue thread lock on the thread, sold at a car dealership. Washers are not there.

Tell me, why is this screw unscrewed? How many washers should there be and which ones?

Hello. I opened it to clean it, but the last horseshoe type part flew out. You tell it well, but your hands get in the way, you can't make out the small details, what you do and don't really know the name. How to understand what is where !?

U-shaped lock washer - the latest, holds the bronze bushings. Watch from 4.32 minutes. Unfortunately, I cannot make my fingers smaller.

Good evening, my tragedy decided to open the handle and the spring flew out and was looking for it and accidentally stepped on the spring, she grimaced what to do help thanks

Timofey Evseev is not present unfortunately she is the only one with me

If there is a second machine, do the same as for the second or one of the two

Timofey Evseev thanks, I'll try

A spring that is large in diameter and pushes the bronze bushing, most likely it is. Try to straighten it in the opposite direction, if it does not work, then only a replacement.

Can you please tell me what these flat iron round things with a hole are called?

I don't quite understand what stuff you are asking about?

Hello! tell me, the machine is working, there is light, but when you turn on the revolutions they are not, silence. What needs to be done, please advise. what a reason.

Timofey Evseev I'm also interested to know the answer))

Timofey Evseev here most likely means that the light is on

Good day! I do not quite understand the question, there is light - in the sense of electricity is there? In more detail, you can see what you are doing and what changes where. Describe.

Good evening! Can you tell me the bearing numbers, please?

Good day! Here is the link: <>

Good afternoon. How did the bearings show themselves over time?

Everything is good at the moment.

my heart almost stopped .. I beg you, never again turn on the device without a cutter in it. they come with a plug - a cutter without notches like that. this whole mechanism is destroyed when starting without cutters

High-speed spindles without tools are killed by microbeats.

You cannot turn on these machines WITHOUT a cutter. The person wrote correctly.

Why do you think so, there is a normal collet chuck.

Good afternoon. My reverse does not work on a typewriter either, it turns in one direction

On the electric motor, + and - should be swapped

Good day! Look in the electrical part, if it was before, then most likely a switch or wire.

Thanks a lot for the video. Tell me, is the bearing size the same for 105L?

Timofey Evseev thank you very much!

Dental laboratory bearing parts Saeshin 102 / 102l / 102ln / 102wl / 105l bearing tip. this is from the seller's website, your model is listed as suitable

Can you please tell me on the link that you indicated for the purchase of bearings, is the price for one bearing or for 4?

this is for 4 pcs. one set, no need to buy four sets. The seller means that he sells all 4 pieces together.

This is for the whole set that I changed in the video.

Drop the link to the seller, please!

I changed the bearings on the same handle, now the machine is spinning at low revs = (((which may be the reason. Does not develop revs for the life of me).

Maybe something was assembled wrong, the bushings are correctly positioned, the bearings cannot be clamped, and the bearings themselves in the hands during rotation behave as they behave, there is no noise or noise.

Every woman wants to have well-groomed nails on her hands and feet. And for this it is not necessary to use the expensive services of beauty salons, especially since not everyone has such an opportunity. It is enough to purchase a manicure and pedicure machine. This apparatus treats not only nails, but also rough skin.

The manicure and pedicure machine is an electric device that can be used to treat nails, cuticles, adjacent skin and feet. The device can file, grind, polish. The device completely replaces the operations that you did with the elements of the manicure set and pumice. At the same time, significantly reducing the time of procedures.

The machine for manicure and pedicure consists of handle 1 and body 2, which houses the power supply and processor. On the body there is a rotational speed regulator 3, an indication lamp for turning on the device 4, a power-on key 5 and a mode switch button for treating hands or feet 6. The handle and the body are connected with a wire. The second wire from the body is connected to the network. Some models have a pedal to increase or decrease the speed 7. The handle has a clamping mechanism, technically called a chuck. Various attachments 8 are inserted into it. Each has its own purpose.

Machine for manicure and pedicure

conical large.

What to look for when buying:

diamond. For grinding off the protruding part of the nail, removing horny skin, treating cuticles, removing corns and calluses. The purpose is determined by the size and shape of the nozzles;

Connect the device to the network.
Use the dedicated button to select the treatment mode for arms or legs.
Move the power key to the ON position. The power indicator will light up. Now you can work.
Set the speed from 5000 to 10000 rpm. It is impossible below, since the cutter will not rotate when it comes into contact with the surface and you can injure your skin or nail. In the absence of experience, it is not recommended to do the speed above this interval. You will erase the surface to be treated.
To engage reverse, be sure to reduce the speed to 0, otherwise the engine will break.
Practice on silicone material at different speeds and attachments.
Do not hold the handle of the device on weight, lean on the table with your palm and two fingers: the little finger and the ring finger. You can only use your little finger, depending on your convenience. This is necessary in order to correctly distribute the center of gravity and not to put excessive pressure on the device.
Don't strain your fingers.
Keep the router parallel to the table. It should slide along the surface of the nail, and not bump into it; press down on the surface with no more pressure than the pen.
After finishing work, be sure to turn the power key to the OFF position.

A manicure and pedicure machine will serve you for a long time if you use and care for it correctly. To do this, follow a number of rules:

do not press on the foot during the hardware procedure. You will not only injure your skin, but also damage the device. If the handle bends, the machine will become unusable. It will have to be repaired;
change nozzles according to the rules described in the instructions. Do not use foreign objects to loosen the fixation and extraction of the cutters, otherwise damage the clamp;
After each use, clean the attachments from nail and skin particles. Sterilize and deodorize them;
store brushes and cutters in a dry and dust-proof case specially designed for this;
carry out a technical inspection of the device regularly. Adjust, clean, replace worn and damaged attachments.

The clamp is the part of the handle in which the attachments are fixed. There are three attachment locking systems:

automatic or self-locking. Simple and easy to use. Such devices are not cheap. The automatic system is often used in machines with a built-in vacuum cleaner. This system is supplied with handles for professional use. Just remove the old accessory from the clip and insert the new one. The handle is ready to work;
semi-automatic or with a semi-turn clamping cutter. Turn the middle part of the knob clockwise until it clicks. Insert the nozzle and turn the same part of the handle back until it clicks;

Consider the frequent malfunctions of the manicure and pedicure machine.

The network cable needs to be checked.

Disconnect the device from the mains.
Loosen the screws on the power supply case and remove the top.
Find the network cable pins. There should be two of them. This suggests that the wire is two-core.
Take a multimeter and turn it on to dial mode.

If one or both wires do not ring, replace the cable. But if the wire is intact, then there is a breakdown in the power supply. Then you should contact the service center.

Here you need to check the wire going from the power supply to the handle. The weak point of such a wire is next to the output from the plug, where it breaks from frequent bends.

First, free the handle from the wire. To do this, unscrew the back cover.

Defective wire should be replaced. But if everything is in order with him, then you need to disassemble the handle and carry out its maintenance. The handles become dirty over time. And this may be the second reason for not turning on the machine.

Handle maintenance should be done once a month. You will need the oil recommended in the instructions, a brush, and a wet wipe. The essence of handle maintenance comes down to the fact that it must be disassembled. Clean all parts from dust and dirt. Lubricate moving parts. Then collect the handle. At first glance, the disassembly process looks complicated, but it is not. After the second analysis, you will have no questions and the full service process will take 10-15 minutes.

Disassemble the device carefully so as not to lose elements. Put everything in order. Remove the router bit and unscrew the front of the handle.
Remove the axle with collet and bearings.

Disassemble the front of the handle, take out the steering axle. Lubricate or replace bearings.Check the condition of the brushes and the motor manifold.

Disassemble the back of the router.

Unscrew the two brush screws on opposite sides of the handle.

Beurer MP 62 manicure and pedicure machine, speed 5400 rpmThe device has ten nozzles and a backlight, which is very useful, since every piece of the treated surface is sanctified. The provided attachments, in my opinion, are the minimum set of the most necessary for manicure and pedicure, but they are enough for high-quality processing. The Beurer MP62 manicure and pedicure set is reversible, which means that the handpiece can handle both clockwise and counterclockwise. The direction of movement of the nozzle is taken into account during processing - it should be opposite to the direction of movement when cleaning the nail from the cuticle. The device has a smooth speed control, which is also important.Beurer MP62 has made my nail care procedure easy and very entertaining - I hope it will last a long time - all the same German quality.

Reliable and quality friend! Machine for manicure and pedicure vitek vt-2204 pk, battery-poweredYesterday I sat down to do a pedicure. And what can I say - it is a pleasure to apply varnish on treated fingers! And this is a completely different matter than just pushing back the cuticle with a stick and polishing the surface with a file. I will definitely use it and in the future, already having an idea of the purpose of the attachments, I will know what to look at the future. Machine for manicure and pedicure SCARLETT VitaSPA SC95005, speed 9000 rpmFor the first time, I wanted to have a manicure and pedicure set at home. My choice fell on Scarlet Vita Spa. It seems to me that this set is just right for a beginner.

Terribillis The correct choice of the device will allow you to buy a quality device with attachments and functions necessary for your tasks. Regular care and timely maintenance will ensure a long service life of your manicure and pedicure machine.Welcome to ProfExpert studio! One of our main services is the repair of manicure, pedicure devices and micromotors of the following brands:High-quality processing of nails and cuticles directly depends on the correct operation of the manicure / pedicure apparatus, and therefore it is a prerequisite to carry out prevention and timely repair of the device.The nail and cuticle treatment device has several names:

milling cutter;

machine for hardware manicure and pedicure;

apparatus for manicure.

But all these terms denote the same device that has a rotary attachment (cutter) that processes the surface of the nail and removes keratinized skin. The design of a standard manicure apparatus includes:

power unit;

Control block;

a handle with a micromotor;

pedal;

nozzles.

As a rule, problems in the operation of the tool are associated with the accumulation of nail lime on the collet mechanism (where the cutter is attached). And all other moving mechanisms, between which friction occurs, are subject to wear, which shortens the service life of the device and worsens the rotation speed of the nozzle. This, in turn, makes the processing of nails of poor quality and even painful, because it is undesirable to reduce the rotational speed of the cutter below 10,000 rpm.Those who use a router most often encounter the following breakdowns:

the device does not turn on;

the device heats up in the area of the handle and the micromotor;

the device makes noise, creates a strong hum during operation, and much more.

Slightly less often, there is such a problem as the breakdown of the reverse switch, which is responsible for the rotation speed. In our workshop, they professionally solve all these problems so that the manicure apparatus works properly and lasts as long as possible.ProfExpert manicure tool maintenance workshop is better than competitors, because we:

Dreaming of beautiful and healthy nails? Hardware manicure will help to keep your hands in perfect condition - simple, effective and safe. To date, this is the most progressive way of treating the nail plate and adjacent areas, in which the likelihood of injury is almost excluded.

Manipulations are carried out using a special device - a router with several replaceable nozzles. It allows you to quickly and easily: get rid of the old decorative coating, give the desired shape to the edge of the nail plate, remove the cuticle, pterygium and deeply clean the lateral sinuses, grind the nail and, if necessary, level its surface before applying a new layer of varnish.

We are constantly looking for the most gentle ways to get your hands in order. The aggressive trimmed manicure was replaced by the European one, with its careful processing of the cuticle without removing it. However, this technology is not suitable for everyone.

Hardware manicure is the next step in the development of the nail industry. Its undoubted advantages:

The cutter gently removes only dead skin particles without injuring the cuticle, as is often the case when cutting with tweezers. As a result, there is no danger of the appearance of wounds with a further possibility of their infection. Not only a thin but also a denser cuticle is effectively removed, the nail hole turns out to be even and neat.
For the high-quality execution of a classic manicure, hands are pre-steamed in a bath, which provokes the spread of fungal diseases. Hardware processing is performed on dry skin, so it is much more hygienic.
After gentle removal with a cutter, the cuticle grows longer and does not coarse, as with a trim manicure.

Problem nails are delicately processed: brittle, exfoliating, uneven, damaged by improper build-up. As a result, any gel polish on them then lays down and holds much better.
The skin around the nails has a healthier and more well-groomed appearance. The cutter can also remove calluses from the fingers, if any, formed from work.
The procedure is easy to carry out at home. It is enough to go through video training, after watching the corresponding lessons and step-by-step photos from professionals, and then practice a little to achieve tangible success. The machine for hardware manicure is so easy to use that high-quality nail treatment will not be a problem even for beginners.
All necessary operations are performed in 30-50 minutes. For a trimmed manicure, the master will need 1.5 hours.

Machining is often referred to as the improved European method. Problems can only arise if the nails are in a very neglected state. It will not work to bring them back to normal in one session.

Classic nail processing with a milling cutter.
Combined manicure.
Processing with further coating with gel polish under the cuticle.

The first method has already been discussed above.

Alignment of the nail plate (if necessary).

Coating technology: primer base gel polish top.

For more information on performing hardware manicure at home, see the step-by-step instructions in the photo below.

The second is a combination of hardware and trim manicure. In this case, the cuticle is first processed with a cutter, and then corrected with tweezers or scissors. Holding hands in the bath to soften the skin is not required, all the preparatory work is done by the device.

The main advantage of the combined hardware manicure is the complete removal of the stratum corneum, even if the nails have not been looked after for a long time.

Having tidied up our hands, we, as a rule, strive to decorate them with fresh nail art. But even the most fashionable manicure will look ridiculous if the nail hole is not completely or unevenly painted over. This is either due to poor adhesion to the coating and the subsequent creeping of the varnish during polymerization, or due to the regrowth of nails.

As a preventive measure, the technique of applying gel polish under the cuticle is used. The proximal roller is lifted, the pterygium is carefully cleaned, and then staining is performed close to the base of the nail.

Cuticle gel polish can be applied with a fine brush.

First of all, we need a router and a set of nozzles for it. In addition, you will need additional tools:

Orange sticks or cuticle pusher.
A special brush, which is used to brush away dust during the processing of nails.
A nail file (preferably glass or ceramic) with a hardness of 180 - 240 grit.
Often, for the convenience of cutting sawdust, craftsmen buy a special desktop vacuum cleaner.

The power of the device must be at least 35 W. If you plan to do a manicure not only for yourself, but also for clients, the optimal value will be 100 - 120 watts.
Another important indicator is speed.For hardware manicure at home, the rotational speed of the cutter of 20 thousand rpm will be sufficient, and a pedicure will require 35-40 thousand rpm.
The device should not be too expensive, but cheap models should be bypassed as well, their quality leaves much to be desired.
A car with a reverse is preferable.
It is important that the router handle has a collet clamp - it is the most convenient and reliable, and is also equipped with a cooling system.

Diamond tips are best suited for thin cuticles, they can be trusted to the most difficult nails. However, the cost of such products is high. When performing hardware manicure at home, two cone-shaped diamond cutters of different diameters will be quite enough.

Pay attention to the marking of the cutters. For a manicure, you usually need a tool with a red and blue line, which means, respectively, low and medium abrasiveness.

Recently, the demand for special devices (milling cutters) for nail care has increased. If earlier such a technique could only be found in the office of a beauty salon, now the range of milling cutters has expanded, prices have dropped significantly and any woman can afford to perform hardware manicure or pedicure at home. In order for your fingers to always have a flawless appearance, it is quite enough to perform the procedure several times a month. It is very easy to use the device for processing nails and it is not necessary to sign up for training with a professional. You can master the technique of hardware manicure at home by studying video tutorials and a step-by-step master class with a photo. For home nail care, an inexpensive router up to 10,000 rpm is suitable. Direct the handle of the device from the center to the edges, keeping the angle of inclination of the nozzle at 45 °.

In addition to the machine itself, the set for hardware manicure includes cutters. These are special attachments that are easily fixed on the rotating head in the router handle. Cutters have different shapes and sizes, are made from different materials, differ in the degree of abrasiveness. According to their purpose, they are divided into the following groups: for processing the free edge of the nail and shaping it, for polishing the surface of the nail plate, for polishing nails, for removing keratinized cuticles, for removing rough skin around the fingers, for grinding corns and calluses on the legs (attachments for pedicure). If the set of your chosen model of the device includes the minimum number of attachments, then you can always buy a set of cutters you need for a milling machine.

What cutters are needed for high-quality hardware manicure? The home milling machine kit can be supplemented with miniature attachments that can be used to easily clean the nail roll sinuses and other hard-to-reach areas of the skin on the hands and feet. If you need diamond tips with a fine abrasive to correct the cuticle, then when processing a thick layer of keratinized skin or shaping extended nails, you need to use ceramic cutters with a large abrasive. With the help of silicone tips, you can quickly remove the remnants of dead skin and polish the nails for a shine. Hardware manicure is one of the safest home nail care procedures. If your nail plates are very brittle and often exfoliate, if the skin around your marigolds is very delicate and constantly injured during trimming manicure with tools with good sharpening, then be sure to buy a router with a set of different cutters.

♦ TYPES OF NOZZLES FOR MILL

A detailed description of the functional features of cutters for hardware manicure and pedicure will help you choose the appropriate attachment options for your machine. First, consider the types of cutters that differ in the material of manufacture.

▪ Ceramic (baked);

▪ Diamond (dusting from natural or artificial stone);

▪ Metal (from hard alloys or steel);

► CERAMIC:

Usually these are hard and rather large attachments for a milling machine, with the help of which it is convenient to process thick and dense nails, coarse calluses and corns, overgrown keratinized cuticles. Ceramic cutters with varying degrees of abrasiveness differ in color: dark brown and black - up to 400 microns, white - up to 200 microns, pink and blue - up to 100 microns;

► DIAMOND:

These packings are made in two ways: during the electrolysis process, fine chips are applied to the base (precipitated); diamond dust is mixed with a special glue and heat-treated while bonding to the substrate. Diamond cutters very delicately remove the stratum corneum from the thin cuticle, cleanse the nail rolls from dry skin and smooth the thinned nail plate. The abrasiveness of diamond tips can be determined by the shade and number of notches, as well as by the color of the base;

► METAL:

Made from hard alloys and high quality medical steel. Carbide tungsten carbide tips can be used on artificial nails, old corns and calluses. Particularly popular are cutters made of alloyed medical steel, which do not turn keratinized skin into dust, but remove with a thin layer of shavings. Metal attachments are distinguished by a notch pattern. For example, cutters for manicure and pedicure with a cruciform notch quickly remove keratinized skin, and with an oblique or straight notch it is convenient to give the desired shape to the nail plates;

► COMBINED:

These are disposable silicon carbide caps that are inexpensive and very easy to use. Combined nozzles are suitable for performing home hardware manicure for both beginners and professional craftsmen. The hardness of such caps can be determined by the number: for polishing - 280-320 grit, for correcting the free edge - 80-100 grit, grinding - 150 grit.

♦ NOZZLE SHAPES

To make it easier to determine which cutter is intended for what, pay attention to the color and shape of the instance. It is also important to determine if the accessory you choose is right for your router. In addition to the working tip, the cutter has a shank, the length of which should correspond to the length of the clamping device handle. Check that the cutter is inserted all the way, that it locks in place and that it is firmly seated in the socket.

• Cylindrical.

A universal option that is usually included in a set for hardware manicure and pedicure. It is convenient to use a cylindrical nozzle to correct the shape of the nail, process the side ridges, remove the top layers of gel polish or other coating;

• Trapezoidal.

Outwardly, they resemble a finely porous sponge. Trapezoidal cutters level the surface of the nails, grind the cut of the free edge, remove the dents, grind small calluses on the fingers;

• "Drums".

These are cylindrical nozzles with a high grain size of the working surface. Used to correct thick nail plates, to polish rough skin, to correct the growth line of the nail between the white and pink areas;

• Spherical (burs).

With the bur, you can perform the most delicate treatment of hard-to-reach skin areas on the hands and feet. A nozzle with a ball at the end easily smoothes the surface of the nail with small cracks and stripes, painlessly corrects the cuticle line, processes nail rollers, cleans nails from a thin film of pterygium. Together with spherical nozzles, needle-shaped and pointed fissure cutters are used for processing delicate periungual skin;

• Conical (polishing).

The polishing tips rounded at the end are made of soft, elastic materials: silicone, felt, felt, cotton. With the help of such caps, the surface of the nail plates is polished to a shine. Silicone tips are strong enough, easy to sterilize and can be used until the work surface is wiped off.Cone-shaped nozzles differ in the degree of hardness and during the polishing of nails they are changed, ranging from the hardest to the softest. These tips are coated with polymer to polish the nails to a beautiful gloss.

♦ STERILIZATION OF NOZZLES

It is advisable to sterilize all cutters not only before the start of the procedure, but also after. Before treating the attachments with a special tool, remove greasy stains and dirt from them by holding them under running water and then wiping them with a lint-free cloth.

You can get rid of microorganisms on the attachments using heat treatment. If you do not have a special sterilizer, you can place the attachments (without plastic holders) in hot water and boil for about 10 minutes. After sterilization, we spread the cutters on a clean terry towel until they are completely dry, and then place them in clean sealed bags.

You can disinfect metal cutters in the oven by preheating it to the maximum temperature. Put the cutters on a sheet of clean foil in a baking sheet. You can remove dust from ceramic and metal attachments with a brass brush.

♦ HOW TO MAKE A STERILIZATION SOLUTION

It is not necessary to buy a special solution for disinfecting the tips, since you can sterilize them with a homemade antiseptic.

Pour 100 ml of 70% medical alcohol into a glass jar, add 10 gr. borax and mix gently. After that, add 30 g to the solution. potassium permanganate (potassium permanganate). We put cutters in a jar and lower the jar in a steam bath for 15-20 minutes.

♦ SERVICE LIFE MILLS FROM VARIOUS MATERIALS

Each set of cutters for hardware manicure is often accompanied by a description of the technical characteristics and recommendations for the service life of replacement tools. But if you do not do hardware manicure at home very often, then the tips can last longer than the period specified in the description. At least once a month, inspect the working surface of the attachments from your home kit and replace worn-out ones with new ones as needed.

√ With diamond or sapphire coating.
The spray layer gets thinner for a long time when used at home. If you regularly clean these cutters from dirt, then they will serve you more than 3 years;

√ Alloy or medical steel.
Very durable attachments that will last you over 5 years;

√ Ceramic.
Designed to operate for one to one and a half months. But they often remain suitable for home use for 3-4 months;

√ Silicone.
Silicone polishers will last you several years;

√ ‘Sand’ and ‘emery’ caps.
These are disposable tips that can be used for a single procedure.
