Komet USA has added four new instrument configurations to its line of coarse, yellow DCB (diamond with ceramic bond) abrasives.

The new grinders include the following:

  • The cylinder-shaped DCB2CA.HP.065
  • The cone-shaped DCB3CA.HP.040
  • The DCB4CA.HP.120 small wheel
  • The DCB7CA.HP.220 large wheel

Practitioners should operate the abrasives at 10,000 to 12,000 rotations per minute (RPM) with low pressure to prevent heat buildup, according to the company.
