Should I use the fine or coarse disks for callused feet?

Start with the fine so you can get a feel for the machine & not hurt yourself. My feet were pretty bad & it worked well b-cuz the machine is so powerful. You'll know within seconds if you need to use the coarse instead. I burned myself a few times during the process. I'd definitely recommend starting with the fine until you get a feel for the machine.

I used the coarse on mine. A foot cream or lotion of some type really helps the softening process. Good luck!!

I don't notice a big difference in the two disc. Just be careful to only tap your foot with the device... Don't hold it in one spot or will hurt!

I used the coarse for the thick callouses on the bottom of foot and the heels, the fine on the callouses on top and sides of the toes.

Depending on your specific nail problem I use the foundation 2 followed by intensive 2. Hope that helps.

Yes, its ok on feet too. I only wear size 7 shoe, so I can really only use 1 of the rotating heads at a time. It does help though with planters fasciitis and tired feet, although it's much better on the body.

Well, I think it would be if you kept up with it. I would buy the roughest rollers they have (that's what I have) and use it every day until your calluses get less bothersome. I have very thick calluses on my heels that used to crack and bleed-so painful! So I used this every day for several days in a row when my feet were dry. I would take a shower at night (or you could soak your feet in water) and apply some GLYTONE Heel and Elbow Cream. I got it on amazon. It's about $40 but it really works. You put this on every night after your feet are wet and put socks on over it. Then the next night (while in the shower and your feet are wet) use a pumice or one of those grater metal things to exfoliate your calluses. Alternate the Emjoi and the cream every other day until you get your feet to where you are comfortable. It may take a week or two but it is totally worth it! The lotion is REALLY powerful and you wont believe how much skin it dissolves while you wear it at night.

I used the silipos. It helps but barely. It mostly helps with the level of discomfort of certain shoes.

It's a good idea to file down the dry/tough skin that is over/around it. Callused skin can cover parts of it and it's good to clear it away.

I use them for a cosmetology school. We file the free edges & use them to buff the shine off. I think they are more medium to coarse grit.

Neither: the pattern is orbital to theoretically minimize the leaving of tracks. The coarser the grit, the more obvious sanding marks will be. Even though you can get coarse-grit paper, this machine is intended for finishing and not for removing stock the way a belt or orbital disk sander can.On a side note, if you already have or plan to get any 18v/3.0 ah Makita cordless tools, you may want to consider getting the cordless version of the sander as well: the fewer cords to deal with, the better.

I would say yes, no and maybe on this one. It depends on the level of inflammation.If it is in an acute stage, using them could cause more discomfort, even though they might be useful to release some of the tension in the connection tissue. Certainly they are useful to keep the feet flexible and open, so they could be considered proactive. And as the inflammation and contraction release, they will be useful to massage the entire area really effectively.

Foot soaks are wonderful. The pours on your feet can release a multitude of toxins. Most of us in houses don't want it draining into our septic systems either. I use the foot soaks. Enjoy!!!

I get my discs from here: http://www.worlddiamondsource.com/wds1.aspx?Id=Polishing_Pads_for_Hand-Held_GrindersI'd call and speak with a customer service rep, who can direct you to a particular abrasive depending on what materials you are working with. I've been dealing with WDS for years and they have been very knowledgeable and helpful, as well as competitive. Best of luck!

I have severe dry and thick callouses on my heels. The first thing I do is use the potato peeler to remove excess and then soak in the tub to soften the remainder. then, I get mu pumice stone, apply the eliminator all over my foot and concentrae on my heels. Let remain 3-4 minutes and then stat scrubbing with the pumice stone. I do my whole foot iincludig the ends of my toes. After sufficient skin has been removed, then I take my little scrub brush and brush all over. When thoroughly rinsed, apple lotion and socks until it has all soaked in--preferably overnight.

There's a lot of independent movement throughout the workout, you're not always going in a side to side motion and you will sometimes be using the discs on your hands for floor exercises, so overall, I think the discs are preferable.

The only thing going against the guide should be fabric, so the type of foot should not matter. CAUTION: I would not use on computerized machines. Magnets and electronics do not play well together...

With daily use, I would think it would help keep feet soft, after a super deluxe pedicure. I like mine to maintain softness between pedis, and to clean my feet.

tbh, id just spend a little more money and get verbs. the last stack of memorexs that i bought. none of them worked to make a backup. i still have half of that stack of mems still.. but yeah just buy verbs so you dont fail every other disc. Also. mems only seem to work on very old games. new games they will fail burns it seems. i use img burn and burner max payload tool.. but yeah. with mems, it seems like every OnE OF Three packs u buy they will work fine.

Bob Vila "Tool Junkie" is correct. Diamond-encrusted files is the safe way to go. Not only are you likely to dull the file on many semi-precious stones, you might cause your stone to chip. Consider practicing filing on a piece of glass first.
