Retipping question please …🤔
Sharpening onsite today and this is a recent batch of retips they had received and cannot work at all with them (they have an entire package of them just like this). The tip is so thick and the angle is so deep that the cutting edge cannot even be adapted. The toe is completely squared off and the back is shaved flat as well. (May need to zoom in to see it well) I did reshape the toe and edges to give a better angle but this is horrible and a waste of money and time!
So I am not a fan of retipping, But I do sharpen a lot of them so I do know it is what many have to do so I am asking for knowledge of what is out there to help them.
I know there was a discussion about the quality of Goldman retips recently on one of our FB groups and this is the only company I have experience with as a hygienist and it is where these came from. I know there are other retip companies out there because I see and sharpen them, but they vary is quality and integrity so I am curious who is everyone using and what is your experience with quality?

Thank you everyone for entertaining my little Montana Jack/Nevi 4 debate!
It was just fun to see the interactions and no judgements on choices.
No clear winner, We just love what we love and it’s Christmas anytime we have sharp instruments whatever they are, RIGHT 🤷🏻‍♀️!!!!

**NOW make sure you call me when you need those MJs and Nevis all sharpened up!😉😊

I appreciate you all!

So let’s start a little debate 🤔

I know my own stance, but I am curious why we are so divided over these 2 instruments🤣

*The Montana Jack and the Nevi 4*

These are, without a doubt, the instruments that I sharpen the most. ( and many have both in one cassette 🤷🏻‍♀️)
It seems most hygienists strongly prefer one or the other, but they are basically the same instrument ( well almost 🥴)

So my debate is…
Are you Team Montana Jack OR Team Nevi 4??
And why?

When you tell the doctor you are not good at sharpening and he basically says do it anyway😩
Examples of why NOT to do it anyway. 🤷🏻‍♀️
Check out the waste here and the cost will be much more now.
Let’s help them understand the need.. lack of skill and time is so real!
Let me help 😊
