Metalworking files are used to remove, shape and deburr metal components and fabrications. They are an essential part of any engineer or metal worker's toolbox.
They're a bit like a solid, more aggressive form of sandpaper. The abrasive surface of the file is applied to the surface that requires filing. As the file is moved, the material is cut away and so fabrications and components can be shaped, finished or smoothed.
Filing is, in many cases, an essential part of the metalworking process. Pieces must be shaped and finished; removing the sharp edges caused by cutting metal into shape can help prevent injuries as well as damage to other parts.
Our files are available in sets of three through to ten, and typically contain the most popular and commonly used types. We have sets of needle files, engineer's files, and a set featuring both files types. Our range includes sets with vinyl dipped-handles for durability and soft handles which provide control and a comfortable grip.
