Frequently Asked Questions
What is a cylinder pointed bur?
It is a diamond grinding bur used together with a step bur in CEREC-type wet grinding units. The step bur shapes the inner surface, and the cylinder pointed bur shapes the outer and occlusal surface.
What is the difference between the cylinder pointed bur 12S and the CEREC 3 version?
The Cylinder pointed bur 12S is compatible with the CEREC MC XL and matches REF 62 40 159. The CEREC 3 version is compatible with CEREC 3 and CEREC 3 Compact and matches REF 58 55 734.
Are the two versions interchangeable?
No. The CEREC 3 cylinder pointed bur does not fit the MC XL, and the 12S is made for the MC XL. Choose the version that matches your milling unit.
How do I know which cylinder pointed bur I need?
Check your unit model, the bur name in your CEREC software tool table, or the REF number on your old bur packaging, and match it to the version on this page.
Which bur does the cylinder pointed bur 12S work with?
On the MC XL it works as a pair with the Step bur 12S, which grinds the inner surface.
Which materials can I grind with it?
Lithium disilicate (such as IPS e.max CAD) and glass ceramics. It is not meant for zirconia.
How many burs are in a pack?
Each pack contains 5 cylinder pointed burs of the version you select.
When should I replace my cylinder pointed bur?
Replace it when occlusal surfaces get rougher, fissures and cusps look less crisp, outer margins chip, grinding takes longer, or the diamond tip looks worn.
Are these original manufacturer burs?
No. These are compatible Eagle burs. Machine names and REF numbers are used only to show which units they fit.
