The straight fissure (cylinder) head has parallel sides and a flat end, so it cuts straight-walled slots, flat steps and parallel surfaces. As a medium crosscut cutter it does the main shaping work between bulk reduction and finishing. The 2.1 mm head is a mid-size that handles general contouring of dentures, frameworks and models.
