A brake disk producing method, comprising a periphery pressing step for forming an outer peripheral shape (5) of a rotor plate (2) into a peripheral shape having recesses and ridges (5a, 5b) repeated in a radial direction, and a chamfering step for forming a chamfered surface (6) by pressing, against a corner portion (2d) on an outer peripheral edge of the rotor plate (2), a die (7), and a brake disk made by the method. Accordingly, it is possible to improve heat radiation capability, reduce the weight and moment of inertia, improve safety in handling, and suppress increase in production costs. Furthermore, by forming the chamfered surface (6), the amount of wear of a brake pad pressed by the brake disk (1) can be reduced, and durability of braking performance can be maintained or improved.

An ultrasonic scaler tip incorporating a multi-banded depth gauge allows a dental professional to more accurately judge the position of the tip with respect to the location of live tissue and alveolar bone. A typical cleaning operation would involve a two step process, with the depths of pockets being measured with a dental probe tip, the depths noted, and subsequently referred to during a cleaning of the teeth. The depth gauge is fabricated of durable coatings so as to be able to withstand the harsh conditions to which it will be repeatedly subjected. The banded scaler tip of the present invention may be fabricated in various ways. For a preferred embodiment, very thin bands of a dark-colored cylindrical bands are created on the tip. The entire tip is then covered by a transparent wear-resistant coating.
