Recommended Speed Guide
Every bur has a safe speed window that depends on shape, size, material, handpiece and cooling — ask us for the recommended speeds for your exact models.
Safety note:
Do not treat general RPM ranges as universal limits. Follow the product-specific IFU and equipment manufacturer instructions.
Why it matters
The right speed protects the bur — and the work
Diamond burs
Recommended speed depends on shape, head size, grit and cooling — oversized heads need lower RPM.
Carbide burs & cutters
Clinic burs and lab cutters run on different handpieces and materials, with different safe ranges.
Polishers & finishing
Polishing systems need controlled pressure, sequence and speed to reach the intended finish.
