The hardest files available, these are the longest lasting and strong enough to file hard materials. The small tip allows precise work in tight spots.
Files with 1.563" diamond surface length are also known as escapement files.
Half-round files can be used on concave, convex, and flat surfaces.
Round files are good for filing holes and concave surfaces.
Triangular files have three filing surfaces to work in spots others can't.
Square files are good for slots, keyways, grooves, and corners.
