US No. 60 Busch Carbide Straight Fissure (Cylinder) Bur | Busch No. 21 016 – HP | Pack of 6
Busch No. 21 016 – HP (US No. 60) carries the 1.6 mm (ISO 016) flat-end carbide cylinder head of the 21 series on an HP shank for straight handpieces, positioning it as the laboratory and technical version of the family. Supplied in packs of 6 and manufactured in Germany by Busch & Co. GmbH, it is the bench-side sibling of the chairside 21 016 FG.
Why choose the HP version
Straight handpieces, typically running up to roughly 40,000 rpm, are the workhorses of the dental laboratory, and a 1.6 mm cylinder flat cutter on an HP shank is well suited to trimming acrylic, refining crown and bridge frameworks, detailing models and adjusting cast frameworks. If you need the same No. 60 geometry in a high-speed turbine for chairside cavity work, choose the FG version.

The straight fissure (cylinder) head has parallel sides and a flat end, so it cuts straight-walled slots, flat steps and parallel surfaces. A 1.6 mm head gives enough edge for shaping while still following tooth-sized contours.
