Which type of nail bit is coned and coned-shaped?

The tapered barrel bit is specifically designed with a coned shape, characterized by a gradual narrowing from the base toward the tip. This shape allows for effective smoothing and refining of the nail surface, particularly in achieving a tapered finish. The coned design is ideal for reaching into the edges of the nail and cuticle area without risking damage to the surrounding skin.

In contrast, a drill bit typically has a more uniform shape that is not specifically conical, and while a round bit can also offer versatility in its use, it is not exclusively coned. A flat bit is designed to provide flat surfaces rather than a tapered one. Understanding the tool's shape and function is crucial for effective nail care and achieving desired aesthetics in manicure treatments.
