E File Drill Bits

 

Comparison Chart: Drill Bit Grits (Fine vs Medium vs Coarse vs XC vs XXC)

Grit Level Aggressiveness Best For Typical Use Client/Product Type
Fine Gentle Refining, finishing, surface smoothing Final pass before top coat; light product removal Natural nails, thin BIAB layers, sensitive clients
Medium Moderate Everyday debulking & refining Shaping enhancements, moderate product reduction BIAB, gel, acrylic with average thickness
Coarse Strong Fast, efficient removal Bulk removal before infills; shaping thicker enhancements Structured BIAB, builder gel, medium–thick acrylic
XC (Extra Coarse) Very Strong High-speed debulking Rapid removal work, thick overlays Hard gel, heavy acrylic, builders requiring fast breakdown
XXC (Extra Extra Coarse) Maximum Extreme removal power Ultra-fast removal of very thick / layered enhancements Very thick acrylic, large sculptures, heavily built overlays

 

 

 

Remember: 

  • Fine → best for finesse work and finishing

  • Medium → the “everyday” grit for most services

  • Coarse → great for structured BIAB and thicker overlays

  • XC → high-speed removal when time matters

  • XXC → the most aggressive; for serious bulk removal only
