High Carbon Hardened Steel Half Round File with Rubber Handle, 12-Inch

High-carbon steel ensures the longevity and strength of the Half Round File. The second-cut grade is great for deburring, shaping, and sharpening, as the round side with double-cut teeth puts a smooth finish on interior contours and holes. The flat side with cross-cut teeth removes material quickly for fast rough-shaping of larger surfaces and edges. Precision milled, tempered, and coated teeth provide durable cutting and good performance.

The Half Round File is made of high-carbon steel and plastic, measuring 310mm/12 inches in size and featuring a second-cut grade with double-cut teeth. The handle size is 110mm/4.3 inches, and the total length is 420mm/16.5 inches. The package contains one Half Round File, weighing 476g, with a gray, black, and orange color scheme.

It's important to note that the file should not be used on hardened steel, as it will quickly ruin the file. Similarly, diamond-embedded files should not be used on soft materials, including many soft steels, as this can cause the diamonds to be torn out. To maintain the file's performance, it's recommended to clean out any bits of file metal with a stiff wire brush and apply a small amount of oil to the teeth to reduce friction, prevent pin formation, and provide rust protection.

The Precision Milled, Tempered, and Coated teeth of the Half Round File ensure durable cutting and good performance. The second-cut grade, along with the round side's double-cut teeth and the flat side's cross-cut teeth, make this file a versatile tool for shaping, sharpening, and deburring a variety of materials, such as hobby models, clocks, watches, and soft metals.

The file's nonslip handle provides better control and handling, both for contoured and ergonomic handhold, enhancing the user's experience and improving the overall effectiveness of the tool. The color of the file is a natural result of the higher carbon content and tempering process, adding to its visual appeal and durability.

In summary, the Half Round File is a high-quality tool that combines the strength and longevity of high-carbon steel with a versatile design, making it a reliable choice for a wide range of shaping, sharpening, and deburring tasks. With proper maintenance and care, this file can provide long-lasting performance and ensure a smooth, efficient workflow for the user.
