Erkodent Trimming Bur — HSS helical bur for thermoformed plates
Trim thermoformed plates precisely, both hard and semi-rigid: clean edges, easy control, excellent resistance to breakage. Compatible with Erkodur, Erkolen and Erkoflex.
- HSS (high speed steel) — clean, durable cutting
- Ø 1 mm — box of 3 pcs
- Recommended speed range: 20,000 to 45,000 rpm
Usage recommendations
- Do not force: light, steady feed.
- Reduce speed if the bur clogs or the material overheats.
- Work in short passes and let the cutting flutes evacuate the swarf.
- Wearing protective glasses is recommended.

FAQ — Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between HSS and other burs for thermoformed plates?
HSS burs are known for their heat resistance and mechanical strength.
On Erkodur, Erkolen or Erkoflex, HSS provides a cleaner cut with less clogging when speed and feed are properly adjusted.
Compared with some carbide burs, HSS offers a good balance of cost/longevity and a “softer” cutting feel for trays, aligners and mouthguards.
Which speeds and technique should I use to avoid overheating?
Stay within the 20,000–45,000 rpm range depending on thickness and material.
If you notice overheating or clogging, reduce speed and pressure.
Prefer short passes, allow swarf to evacuate, and take breaks if needed.
Avoid cutting tight corners at full depth; rough trim then finish with light finishing passes.
On which plates does this bur perform best?
Designed for dental thermoformed plastics: rigid and semi-rigid plates (Erkodur) and more flexible materials (Erkolen, Erkoflex).
Suitable for peripheral trimming, openings and fine adjustments.
Work in multiple passes, monitor heat build-up, then deburr/lightly polish for a crisp edge.
Safety and maintenance tips for the tool
Always wear protective glasses and ensure good lighting of the cutting area.
Secure the workpiece properly and maintain a stable grip on the handpiece.
After use, remove plastic residues and store in the original box.
Check the cutting edge: a dull bur generates more heat and gives a poorer finish.
Replace it at the first signs of wear to keep edge quality and working comfort high.
