About Files

Choose files by texture—coarse for quick and heavy removal of material, extra fine for precision and a smooth finish.

Triangular Files

Single Cut

With three filing surfaces, these files work in spots others can't. They do not include a handle but do have a tang that fits into a handle. Length does not include the tang.

Tapered Triangle

Single Cut—Surface has one set of diagonal teeth and is often used with light pressure to slowly remove material and file between saw teeth.
