Precision Rectangular Files




Made to exacting measurements to ensure smoothness, these files are used for finishing delicate and intricate parts. They do not include a handle but do have a tang that fits into a handle. Length does not include the tang.
Thin tapered files taper extremely toward the point to fit tight spaces. Also known as warding 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.
