What are the precautions for adjusting the speed of the electric nail drill

Electric nail drills play a vital role in the modern nail industry. Their efficiency and precision make them the preferred tool for nail technicians. Reasonable adjustment of the speed is the key factor to ensure the effect of nail art and the health of nails. Through scientific speed setting, not only can work efficiency be improved, but also potential damage to nails and surrounding skin can be effectively reduced.

Basic concept of speed
The speed of electric nail drills is measured in revolutions per minute (RPM). The higher the speed, the stronger the cutting ability of the drill bit, which is suitable for fast removal of nail materials; while lower speeds are more suitable for fine grinding and processing. Mastering the basic concept of speed will help nail technicians make more reasonable choices in actual operations, so as to achieve ideal nail effects.

Choose the right speed according to the type of operation
Different nail operations have different requirements for speed. The following are some common operations and their recommended speed ranges:
Removing nail glue or false nails: It is recommended to use a higher speed (15,000-20,000 RPM) to quickly and effectively remove excess materials.
Polishing the nail surface: To avoid damage to the nail, it is recommended to use a medium speed (8,000-12,000 RPM) to ensure uniform and delicate polishing.
Exfoliating: At this time, a lower speed (5,000-8,000 RPM) should be selected to reduce irritation to the skin and ensure gentle operation.
Fine grinding and polishing: When performing fine grinding and polishing, it is recommended to use a lower speed (3,000-5,000 RPM) to ensure smooth and delicate final results.

Gradually adjust the speed
For beginners, it is recommended to start with a lower speed and gradually become familiar with the operation of the electric nail drill. As the skills improve, the speed can be gradually increased. During the adjustment process, it is necessary to closely observe the operation effect and the reaction of the nails and make adjustments in time. This gradual adjustment method can effectively reduce the risk of injury caused by improper operation.

Drill bit compatibility
Different types of drill bits are suitable for different speeds. Hard drill bits (such as metal drill bits) are usually able to withstand higher speeds, while soft drill bits (such as ceramic drill bits) may wear or deform at high speeds. Therefore, when using an electric nail drill, be sure to adjust the speed appropriately according to the type of drill bit used to ensure the performance and service life of the drill bit.

Observe the reaction of nails and skin
During operation, it is important to pay close attention to the reaction of nails and skin. If you find that the nails are hot, discolored or painful, you should immediately reduce the speed or stop the operation. The health of nails and skin is the basis of manicure. Any discomfort should be taken seriously, and the speed should be adjusted or the operation method should be changed in time to ensure safety.

Avoid excessive use of high speed
Although high speed can improve work efficiency, excessive use of high speed may cause nail damage or thinning. When performing nail care, the frequency and time of use should be reasonably arranged according to the actual situation. For fragile or damaged nails, it is recommended to reduce the use of high speed and choose gentler manual tools for care to ensure the health of nails.
