Busch Carbide Bone Taper (Cone) Pointed Cutter | Busch No. 166A 021 – RA-L | Pack of 2
Busch No. 166A 021 – RA-L puts the 2.1 mm (ISO 021) A-Cut, low-vibration carbide taper (cone) pointed bone-cutter head on a long latch-type shank. That extra length is the sole difference from the 166A 021 RA: it extends the reach of a slow-speed contra-angle handpiece into deeper surgical fields. Pack of 2, made in Germany by Busch & Co. GmbH.
Why choose the RA-L version
A long RA shank is typically the answer when a standard bur cannot reach a posterior or deep site without the handpiece head obstructing access or vision — for example around impacted third molars or in deep osteotomy cuts. With the 2.1 mm head it supports efficient bone removal at those sites while running in your existing latch contra-angle at low speed.
Also available: No. 166 021 – RA, No. 166A 021 – HP, No. 166A 021 – RA, No. 166 021 – RA-L.

Key Features
As a high-performance carbide bone cutter dental bur, the 166A 021 RA-L is engineered to provide smooth, precise cutting action with minimal chatter. The taper (cone)-pointed tip enables accurate access and controlled bone removal, while the A-Cut geometry optimizes chip clearance and reduces heat generation during use.
