Busch Carbide Bone Taper (Cone) Pointed Cutter | Busch No. 162 016 – RA-L | Pack of 2
Sold as a pack of 2, Busch No. 162 016 – RA-L pairs the same 1.6 mm (ISO 016) taper (cone) pointed carbide bone-cutter head found in the 162 series with a long latch-type shank (RA-L). The extra shank length is what sets this reference apart from the standard 162 016 RA: it extends reach from a slow-speed contra-angle handpiece for deeper surgical sites. Made in Germany by Busch & Co. GmbH.
Why choose the RA-L version
A long RA shank is typically selected when the working site sits further posteriorly or deeper than a standard-length bur can comfortably reach — third-molar regions, deep osteotomy lines, or sites where the handpiece head would otherwise obstruct vision. It still runs in an ordinary latch contra-angle at low speed, so no additional handpiece is needed; you simply gain clearance between the head of the handpiece and the 1.6 mm cutting tip.
