WHAT IT DOES

Traditionally engineered for those less confident making it ideal for E-file beginners as well as for experienced users due being recognised for its classic shape & soft contours. But in a stronger grit for those removing a robust product. This bit removes & reduces product whilst allowing for a smooth, even surface without aggressive cutting.

• Debulks & removes product with controlled reduction

• Supports less confident E-file technicians

• Creates a smoother finish compared to speciality carbides

WHY IT’S DIFFERENT

Most coarse bits focus purely on removal speed.
The Poppy is engineered for those with confidence who have previously used the Penny or the Penultimate. 

• Rounded safety top reduces risk of touching the surrounding skin 

• Stronger coarse grit allows efficient removal with more speed & less pressure

• Designed for smooth, predictable performance

• Ideal for techs building confidence & those confident in structured e-file work

This is a control-first coarse bit, not a high-aggression remover.

PRO TIP

The Poppy Coarse should not be used to remove gel polish with a standard base or light painted on builders. But to infill, Debulk & remove heavier products.
For lighter options try the Penultimate Fine or Penny Medium.
