Nail tech study ch8
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| CTD | Cumulative trauma disorder |
| Micro motor machine | Efile |
| Where is the motor located in an efile? | In the hand piece |
| What is the box called that the hand piece plugs into? | Transformer |
| What does the transformer do? | It conducts electricity from the wall plug to the machine |
| How is the speed of an efile measured? | Revolutions per minute RPM (times a minute that the bit spins) |
| What is the typical RPM range? | 0-35,000 You should work somewhere in the middle |
| What is torque? | Power of the machine or ability to keep turning when pressure is applied during filing. |
| Torque tips | High torque-more power-lower speed Lower torque-less power-higher speed |
| Concentric bits | Balanced bits that don’t wobble or vibrate. |
| How is grit measured? | Number of abrasive particles per inch Higher grit number has smaller finer particles Lower grit number has larger grit pieces and will be coarser |
| Diamond bits | Made from natural and synthetic diamond particles. Chip the surface of the product and can be used in back and forth motion. |
| Carbide bits | Made of carbide metal. Different shapes, sizes, and grits. Shaves the surface as they file with flutes. Crosscut and can be used in a back and forth motion |
| Flutes | Grooves in a bit that shaves the surface as they file. This reduces dust. The wider the flute grooves the coarser the bit. |
| Swiss carbide bits | Made in Switzerland and have rounded edge for safety. Crosscut and can be used in a back and fourth motion. |
| Silicone bits | Feel like pencil erasers. Different grits, used to remove dead cuticle and to shine nails. Medium grit can be used in natural nails. |
| Natural bits | Chamois, cotton, and goat hair Used to buff nails with buffing cream |
| Chamois bits | Available in natural, synthetic, and leather. |
| Goat hair bits | Good at removing dust and chrome powders from the skin. |
| Tapered barrel bits | Shorter cone shaped fine bit with a flat top. Used to shape the top surface of the nail. Can prep the cuticle area for a fill. |
| French fill bits | Designed to use sideways to carve a ‘V’ into the smile line. Diamond shaped bit. |
| Natural nail disc | Diamond surface used on the top of the nail to shorten and shape the free edge. |
| Pedicure bits | Usually cone shaped and. Add from diamond or sapphire material. Smooths and contours callused skin. Usually have hollow centers and long shanks. Slow or medium speed in one direction |
| Prepper bits | Similar to tapered barrel but smaller |
| Mandrels | Metal or rubber bits that arbor or sanding bands slide over |
| Sanding and arbor bands | One time use paper bits that slide on mandrels. Usually used for shortening and shaping the top surface. |
| Jewelry and specialty bits | Jewelry bits are long and slender. They are carbide bits made to fill a hole in the free edge to attach jewelry. Other specialty carbide bits can be used to carve designs. |
| Why should bits be concentric? | So they don’t wobble and vibrate. Vibrations can cause damage. |
| What are the 4 main types of bits? | Diamond, carbide,silicone, and natural |
| What type of bits are one use only? | Sanding and arbor bands |
| Rings of fire | Caused by holding a flat tipped bit at the wrong angle especially near the cuticles |
| What type of bit to repair a crack? | Flat tipped barrel, backfill bit, or bullet bit. |
| Should you use trimming tools to remove lifting? | NO! You should use a bit to file away the lifting. |
| What type of bit to shorten the nails? | Medium or coarse barrel bit at a 90 degree angle. |
| What type of bits should be used to remove hard gels? | Diamond bits-medium grit Carbide bits-medium or fine grit Swiss carbide bits- coarse (most have blue bands) |
| What is a good bit for cuticle work? | Medium silicone but in low speed. NEVER a metal bit |
| Can you use a metal bit on natural nails? | NO |
| What is graduating grits? | Start with coarser bits and gradually go to finer grits |
| What are some solutions to reduce dust? | Use carbide or Swiss carbide bits (the flutes collect dust and shoot dust downwards towards the table) Use a dust extractor For liquid and powder products use a drilling solution with fine and extra fine diamond bits prior to polishing or shining. |
| Not enough shine? | Improper graduation of grits. Not using buffing solution |
| What causes heat when using an efile? | Too much pressure, speed too high, or holding the bit in one spot too long |
| What is grabbing? | When the bit snags your skin |
| What is micro shattering? | When nails become brittle and develop tiny cracks |
| What can cause micro shattering ? | Improper efile speed, poor quality or bent bits, too coarse of bits, poor quality products, holding the hand piece at the wrong angle, and working too aggressively |
| How should you hold the bit to avoid rings of fire? | Parallel to the nail. |
| What to do when you find yourself applying pressure to the nails when filing? | Speed up the machine |
| What is the shank? | The stick part of a bit that is inserted into the handpiece |
| When practicing cuticle work, hold the bit flat and it should touch one percentage of the nail | 50 |
| Pledgets | Gauze squares |
