Busch Carbide Bone Taper (Cone) Pointed Cutter | Busch No. 166 021 – RA | Pack of 2
Busch No. 166 021 – RA is the larger-head sibling of the 162 series: a carbide taper (cone) pointed bone cutter with a 2.1 mm (ISO 021) head on a standard latch-type right-angle (RA) shank. It is intended for slow-speed contra-angle handpieces and is supplied as a pack of 2 by Busch & Co. GmbH, Germany.
Why choose the RA version
A 2.1 mm head removes bone faster than the 1.6 mm No. 162, so the RA shank version is typically chosen for broader contouring tasks in a low-speed latch contra-angle — for example levelling a ridge or reducing a bony prominence under irrigation. Its standard shank length keeps the instrument compact; if you need extra reach to posterior sites, see the 166 021 RA-L, and for a straight surgical handpiece choose the 166A 021 HP.
Also available: No. 166A 021 – HP, No. 166A 021 – RA-L, No. 166A 021 – RA, No. 166 021 – RA-L.
