Busch Carbide Bone Taper (Cone) Pointed Cutter | Busch No. 162 016 – RA | Pack of 2
Busch No. 162 016 – RA is the standard-shank member of the 162 series: a carbide taper (cone) pointed bone cutter with a 1.6 mm (ISO 016) head, mounted on a latch-type right-angle (RA) shank for slow-speed contra-angle handpieces. Busch & Co. GmbH manufactures it in Germany, and this listing supplies a pack of 2.
Why choose the RA version
The RA latch shank locks into a conventional low-speed contra-angle, which is typically the handpiece of choice for controlled, intraoral bone contouring where a slower rotation and firm tactile feedback matter more than raw speed. Compared with the RA-L variant, the standard-length shank keeps the 1.6 mm head close to the handpiece for stable work at accessible sites; choose the HP or FG versions of the 162A instead when your protocol calls for a straight surgical handpiece or a high-speed turbine.
Also available: No. 162A 016 – HP, No. 162A 016 – FG, No. 162A 016 – RA-L, No. 162A 016 – RA, No. 162 016 – RA-L.
