{"product_id":"violet-large-carbide-barrel","title":"Violet Large Carbide Barrel Bit","description":"\u003cp\u003eLove what a carbide barrel does for your fills but tired of replacing bits? The Violet Large Carbide Barrel Bit adds a titanium coating to our fast-cutting large barrel, so it cuts cooler and smoother and lasts up to 3x longer than uncoated carbide. It thins, shapes and debulks acrylic and hard gel quickly, and it's made for working nail techs and serious hobbyists who want a bit that keeps up with a full book.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLasts up to 3x longer:\u003c\/strong\u003e the titanium coating protects the cutting flutes, so you replace bits less often\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCuts cooler:\u003c\/strong\u003e better thermal stability means less heat for you and your client\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSmoother cutting:\u003c\/strong\u003e friction-resistant flutes glide through product with less drag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFaster bulk removal:\u003c\/strong\u003e the large barrel covers more surface with each pass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo grits:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium (most popular) or Coarse\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRight or left hand:\u003c\/strong\u003e left-hand available in Medium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFits most e-files:\u003c\/strong\u003e standard 3\/32\" shank\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat the Violet Titanium Coating Does\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe violet color comes from a titanium coating over the carbide.
