Diamond Dental Bur, FG Shank

5 Burs Per Pack

Occlusal anatomy is curved, so the instrument that shapes it should be too. Taft Diamond Burs — Football are designed to follow the natural contour of a cusp and fossa, which is what makes them the shape for occlusal reduction and composite contouring.

The rounded end will not gouge a flat spot the way a cylinder does, and dual-layer diamond bonding keeps that curve true through the case — the last cusp looks like the first.

Key Features:

  • Dual-layer diamond bonding for consistent cutting performance
  • Rounded profile follows natural occlusal anatomy without flat spots
  • Available in medium grit (blue band) for controlled reduction and fine grit (red band) for finishing composite
  • High concentricity for vibration-free operation
  • Friction grip (FG) shank — fits all standard high-speed handpieces
  • 5 burs per pack

Sizing

EX-21 — Round End Inverted Cone / EX shape

  • Head: 2.1 (1.6) × 5.0 mm | Total Length: 19.0 mm

WHY DUAL-LAYER

These aren't single-use burs. That's the whole point of the second layer.

Most low-cost diamonds are electroplated — one layer of diamond bonded to the shank. When that layer wears, the bur is done. It's disposable by design, and priced like it. Ours are built the other way.

A single-layer bur doesn't quit on you. It fades.

The grit rounds off, the cut goes shallow, and you compensate without deciding to. More pressure. More passes. Longer at the margin. That's bur drift, and on single-layer diamonds it starts early in the pack.

Dual-layer bonding puts a second bed of diamond under the first. As the outer layer wears, fresh cutting surface is already there. More usable life per bur, and a consistent cut across that life, so the last prep feels close to the first.

We spec them this way because a bur that cuts the same on Thursday as it did on Monday is what protects your prep quality and your chair time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our burs use dual-layer diamond bonding — the same construction spec used by premium-tier bur manufacturers. We source direct and sell at margins that distributors can't match. Try a kit against your current supplier and judge the cut yourself.

Yes. All burs use a friction grip (FG) shank, which fits all standard high-speed handpieces used in US dental practices. No adapter needed.

Bur life depends on a variety of factors. The dual-layer bonding extends cutting surface life vs. single-layer alternatives. If you aren't happy with the cut, let us know.
