A nail drill is an electrical device for working on gel, acrylic, and natural nails. With various drill bits, you can remove enhancements, prepare natural nails, and gently remove calluses.

For beginners, nail drills with approximately 20,000 to 25,000 revolutions per minute and simple operation are suitable. For professional applications, more powerful devices are often used.

Professional nail salons use powerful electric nail files with adjustable speed, low-vibration handpieces, and a wide selection of drill bits for various applications.

The required speed depends on the application. For natural nail preparation, 10,000 to 20,000 revolutions per minute are often sufficient. For removing gel or acrylic enhancements, professional nail salons frequently use nail drills with 30,000 revolutions per minute or more.

Different router bits are used for different applications. Diamond bits are often suitable for natural nail treatment, carbide cutters for removing gel or acrylic, and special pedicure bits for treating calluses. The choice of the right cutter attachment depends on the respective treatment goal.

A nail drill is electric and allows for quick, precise work on gel, acrylic, natural nails, and calluses. A nail file is used manually and is primarily suitable for minor corrections and shaping nails.

When used correctly, a professional nail drill is a safe working tool. The right speed, suitable drill bits, and proper handling are important. Improper use, however, can lead to injuries or damage to the natural nail.
