The round head cuts in every direction, which makes it the shape for opening, hollowing and relieving acrylic, plaster and model surfaces rather than for flat work. The 4.0 mm head is a large size for fast reduction of denture bases and broad framework surfaces. The crosscut pattern gives fast, cool material removal; follow with a fine cut for the final surface.
