The files in these sets have small tips for precise work in tight spots. They stand up to frequent use. All are Swiss pattern, so they’re made to exacting measurements to give you control over how much material you remove. They produce more consistent finishes than American-pattern files. File length does not include the length of the tang or handle.

Files without handles have a tang, so you can choose your own handle. Files with rubber-coated plastic handles are cushioned and comfortable to hold. Each handle has a hole so you can hang the file.

All sets include double-cut files, which have two sets of diagonal teeth. They remove material more quickly than single-cut files, but you’ll need to use heavier pressure. Some sets also include single-cut files, which are often used with light pressure to slowly remove material and sharpen tool-cutting surfaces.

Bend these files to conform to your workpiece and they will hold the shape until you bend them again. They can be bent more than 100 times without breaking. The small tip allows precise work in tight spots. These files do not include a handle but do have a tang that fits into a handle. Length does not include the tang.

Second only to diamond in hardness, these files last 100 times longer than standard files. The small tip allows precise work in tight spots.

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.

Knife files get into tight angles, corners, and slots.

Second only to diamond in hardness, these files last 100 times longer than standard files. The small tips allow precise work in tight spots.

The hardest files available, these are the longest lasting and strong enough to file hard materials. The small tips allow precise work in tight spots.

Keep different shapes of needle files on hand to remove material from stainless steel. The files in these sets almost never clog. Their small tip is ideal for work in slots, grooves, and other tight spots on intricate parts. With a Swiss cut pattern, they’ll leave a consistent finish—they’re made to more exact measurements than files with an American cut pattern. Since they’re double cut with two sets of diagonal teeth, you can put more pressure on them than single-cut files for quicker filing. All files resist corrosion.

The files in these sets do not include a handle but do have a tang that fits into a handle. Length does not include the tang.

Keep multiple files on hand for workpieces of different shapes and sizes.

All sets include American-pattern files, also known as machinists' files.

Double Cut—Surface has two sets of diagonal teeth and is often used with heavier pressure than single cut for rapid material removal.

Single Cut—Surface has one set of diagonal teeth and is often used with light pressure to slowly remove material and sharpen tool-cutting surfaces.

Single Cut with Chip Breaker—Speed up reaching a fine finish. They remove material as quickly as double-cut files while leaving behind a smooth finish at the same time. They have single-cut teeth divided by diagonal cutting edges that act as chip breakers—the chip breakers rough the surface while the single-cut teeth smooth it.

Files with wood handles have a durable grip that's shaped to fit comfortably in your hand.

Made to exacting measurements, the files in these sets give you precise control over how much material you remove. Also known as Swiss-pattern files, they create more consistent finishes than American-pattern files. Use them for smoothing intricate parts and other applications where accuracy is key. All files are double cut, which means their surface has two sets of diagonal teeth. They remove material more quickly than single cut files, but you’ll need to use heavier pressure.

File slots, keyways, grooves, and corners. Diamond is the hardest, longest-lasting abrasive available and strong enough to file hard materials.

Diamond abrasive makes these the hardest, strongest, and longest-lasting files available. Use them to shape and smooth titanium and other tough materials.
