Set includes six files and a chart to convert to Vickers scale. It is an economical way to determine the hardness of steel on the Rockwell C-scale. Handles are marked with Rockwell hardness values. If a file can scratch your material, then your material is softer than the file. If a file cannot scratch your material, then your material is harder than the file.

Make sure your hardness testers are accurately calibrated. Blocks are marked with their corresponding Rockwell hardness and a serial number.
All blocks come with a calibration certificate traceable to NIST that states they've passed a test for accuracy.
Small Spot Rockwell Hardness Testers

This tester uses an indenter to measure the hardness of aluminum, brass, and steel. It can be used at any angle without affecting accuracy.
For heat-treated material harder than Rockwell C20, use the optional C-scale diamond indenter.
