Regardless of the chosen method of nail design, the key to its durability is the correct preparation of the nail plate. When performing a pedicure, it is necessary not only to shape the nails, but also to ensure that the skin of the feet is perfectly smooth. In both of the above cases, of course, all treatments can be done manually - using a file with the appropriate gradation. It is much faster and easier to do this with the right equipment. By this I mean an electric drill machine, without which no stylist can perform a pedicure or manicure.

Nail and hard skin drill machine - what is it for?

A drill machine is a device with many functions that nail lovers use when designing a nail plate (length, shape and removal of gel, acrylic or gelish varnish). It is used in both manicures and pedicures.

The electric drill machine is most commonly used for quick and effective shortening, as well as nail shaping. It is very useful in quickly removing gel or acrylic on fingernails and toenails.

It is very useful in pedicure because, in addition to shaping the nail and removing excess cuticles, it effectively removes calluses from the skin, fingerprints and corns from the feet. In this case, the most problematic are the heels, which can be a woman’s “Achilles heel” for many.

Now that we have presented the usefulness of an electric nail and skin drill, it is important to choose the right one for you. Which model you choose, of course, depends on the purpose of use. It is important whether you buy a nail file only for home use, or for professional use in a beauty salon.

Depending on the purpose and use, it is important

  • size (you carry it or it will stand in one place)
  • the weight of the device, which affects the comfort of use
  • power and speed are crucial in proper use. The higher the power and speed per minute, the faster you will shape your nails or smooth your heels. If you perform hand and foot treatments professionally, consider buying a grinder with the highest parameters (30,000 or more and at least 40 W of power). If you plan to use the device for home use only, these parameters are not so important. If the power of the motor is too weak for the work we want to do, the motor is loaded and the speed is slowed down or even stopped (while the grinder also gets very hot).
  • number of additional grinding bits
  • head and changing attachments. Better grinders have a quick clamping of the head that allows you to change the grinding bits with one turn
  • foot with which you can perform the treatment with both hands, and with the foot and foot you can regulate the operation of the grinder


Which electric nail drill to choose is always a question that arises when buying. There are many different models. Although some may look very similar at first glance and perform a similar function, they can actually be quite different from each other. They differ in terms of power, type of attachments, speed and other properties that define a particular device.

Its price also depends on how many different functions it has and how much power it has, as well as other specifications - more sophisticated models, which are also suitable for professional use, are also slightly more expensive.

Normally, the grinder is operated via switches or buttons, which can be used to change the speed and direction of rotation of the grinding attachment. When choosing, care must be taken as to whether it can be used with the foot pedal or not and how maintenance and cleaning are carried out.
