Bill Short Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 Good day folks, I thought you might be interested in looking at this. My dentist friend has asked me to try and sell a high end dental drill unit that he used in his practice for dental implants and cosmetic dentistry. This surgical quality unit is vintage 1996 and was used for about 8-9 years alternately with a twin unit ( already sold) by one dentist. As implant surgery is only a part of his practice, the unit has seen less than average use. It is a Steri-Oss unit, then manufactured by Bausch and Lomb company. I have included photos of the unit along with the original flyer. It includes the programmable console unit, brushless handpiece motor, two contra angled handpieces that snap into the motor, a spare handpiece head, and foot pedal (on-off) control. The handpieces included use standard 3/32" dental burs of the contra-angle type. When new, the console unit with hand motor was $3300.00, while each of the reduction handpieces were about $900.00 apiece. The beauty of this unit is that the brushless motor is high torque motor that has rare earth magnets as the core and therefore, you can drill into a piece of wood and the rpm and torque stays constant. The motor is autoclavable ( can be sterilized ) and therefore is completely sealed and is perfect for use in a dusty environment like carving wood. Both handpieces are gear reduction with ratios of 18:1 and 100:1. The 18:1 handpiece will run from 170 - 1700 rpm, while the 100:1 handpiece will run from 3 - 300 rpm. If fitted with an E-Type straight handpiece, ( available on Ebay or at a dental supply house ), with a 1:1 ratio, the drill will run at 30,000 rpm and lower. See this web site for the Lynx Nosecone 1:1 ratio at $79.00 ( not included ), that will do the job. http://www.archerwhite.com/index.asp?PageA...&ProdID=222 If fitted with a 1:4 nosecone handpiece, ( not supplied ), the drill will run up to 39,000 rpm. The unit includes the original instruction manual. The drill uses standard 3/32" shank burs or 3/32" any 3/32" shank tool. The price for the entire unit is $700.00 US Funds plus shipping to your location. Let me know what you think. I have one available. I bought the sister unit. Thank you to Janel for allowing me to post this. Regards, Bill Dental Drill PDF removed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
