The football (egg) head is a wide oval for broad convex and palatal surfaces, where a long contact edge keeps the surface even. The 6.0 mm head is a bulk-reduction size: it covers a denture base quickly and is not meant for detail. Its crosscut (double-cut) toothing removes stock quickly and clears chips well, so it is a shaping rather than a finishing cutter.
