Best Burs for piercing?

[frankmartin]

Saw Binh Pho, Malcom Zander and more in Richmond and can't wait any longer to try piercing. Have ordered a NSK, but confused about the best burs to use to get started. Any recommendations on shape, size of bur to use? my best guess at the moment is a 2mm carbide crosscut with either cylinder or taper shape? Thanks for your help!

My recommendation is to email Binh Pho and get his recommendation or call him. The info is on his web site. I don't have the list he gave me or I could tell you which ones. He has the best prices on burrs as well. Great to work with.

This mob: http://www.sciplus.com/ occasionally has surplus dental burrs. Select "Tools," then "Rotary Tools." Prices for most of their products are cheap enough to justify experimentation.
