3/32 Shank HP · CARBIDE CUTTERS
ATTRITOR NK-8 is Keystone's diamond-cut tungsten CARBIDE bur in the small-cone NK-8 head geometry, on a 3/32" HP-Shank for LAB straight handpieces. "Diamond-Cut" here refers to the criss-cross flute pattern on the CARBIDE blades — a flute geometry that gives faster bulk reduction and aggressive cutting on denture acrylic, gold and base metals. The name "Diamond-Cut" describes the flute design, not the bur material: the bur is solid tungsten CARBIDE throughout, not diamond-coated and not impregnated with diamond grit.
The ATTRITOR line is Keystone's premium CARBIDE tool brand for the dental LAB — tungsten-CARBIDE tool steel with diamond-cut flute geometry, designed for technicians who want faster acrylic and metal reduction without sacrificing tool life.
