Precision files, also known as Swiss-pattern files, are made to exacting measurements to ensure smoothness and are useful for finishing delicate and intricate parts.

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.
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.
