Milling machines are an indispensable part of every nail stylist’s work. Thanks to them, we can save time and achieve excellent results. However, as with any device, it’s easy to make mistakes that can lead to undesirable effects. In our article, we will focus on the most common mistakes when using a milling machine and how to avoid them. We invite you to read!
Incorrect selection of milling cutters
Choosing the right milling cutters is key to success. Unfortunately, many people do not pay enough attention to this. The most common mistake is using too aggressive cutters on delicate nails, which can lead to nail plate damage. Also, a set of cutters that is not diverse enough can be problematic. It’s worth investing in various tips that allow for precise work in different situations. What is your experience in selecting cutters? Do you have your favorite models?
Inappropriate rotational speed
Another common mistake is the inappropriate rotational speed of the milling machine. Too low a speed may cause the cutter not to effectively remove material, prolonging the work time. On the other hand, too high a speed can overheat the cutter and cause discomfort for the client. It’s worth familiarizing yourself with the manufacturer’s instructions and adjusting the speed to the type of service being performed. Have you ever experienced inappropriate speed? How did you handle it?
Incorrect technique of holding the milling machine
The technique of holding the milling machine is an aspect often overlooked, yet it greatly affects work comfort. Incorrectly holding the device can lead to faster hand fatigue and less precision. It’s important to hold the milling machine firmly but without unnecessary tension. It can be compared to holding a pencil—stable but with some freedom. What are your tips for comfortable use of the milling machine?
Lack of proper training
We often forget that operating a milling machine requires proper training. Even the best device won’t work correctly if you don’t know how to use it. It’s worth investing time and resources in courses that allow you to fully utilize the potential of the milling machine. There are many training options available, both in-person and online. Have you participated in any training? What were your impressions?
Inadequate device maintenance
Neglecting the milling machine shortens its lifespan. Regular cleaning and maintenance are essential. Contaminants can affect the quality of work and even lead to device failure. It’s also worth regularly checking the condition of the cutters and replacing them if necessary. How do you take care of your milling machine? Do you have any proven maintenance methods?
Inappropriate workspace setup
The ergonomics of the workspace are crucial for the effective use of the milling machine. Improper setup can lead to back, neck, or wrist pain. It’s important for the table to be at the right height and the chair to be comfortable. Good lighting is also extremely important. Consider whether your workspace is optimally organized. Maybe it’s worth making some changes?
