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. The XTI-cut is a medium double cut designed for titanium, giving controlled removal on titanium frameworks and implant components without excessive heat; it is not a general-purpose cutter. The 4.0 mm head is a large size for covering broad surfaces quickly.
