The taper (cone) round head is the all-purpose lab contouring shape: the cone reaches into interdental areas and around clasps while the rounded tip avoids gouging. With a medium cut it shapes and finishes in one tool, at the cost of some removal speed. At 3.1 mm the head is on the larger side, for covering wide acrylic surfaces in fewer passes.
