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. A 3.1 mm head is a bulk-work size, best on denture bases and other wide surfaces. The crosscut pattern gives fast, cool material removal; follow with a fine cut for the final surface.
