Metal Project Shaping Tool - Half Round Mill Steel File Rasp with Handle (8-inch)

The half-round files feature a special tooth design that is even and smooth, effectively improving their cutting ability. Ergonomically designed, the handles are comfortable to grip and will not hurt the user's hand, ensuring no fatigue and more efficient use.

These half-round files are suitable for filing both concave cambered surfaces and flat surfaces, making them a perfect tool for use in garages, factories, engineering workshops, and other industrial settings.

The handles are constructed from a PP+TRP material, which is non-toxic, non-slip, and eco-friendly. The file heads, on the other hand, are made from high-quality T12 carbon tool steel, which is incisive, highly durable, and has a long service life.

In terms of specifications, the files are available in different tooth grades, including coarse, medium, and fine. Users can select the appropriate file texture based on the material of the workpiece being processed:

1. For low-carbon steel, the coarse-toothed file is recommended.
2. For medium and high-carbon steel, the medium-toothed file should be used.
3. The fine-toothed file is suitable for shallow surface finishing.

By choosing the right file texture based on the workpiece material, users can not only save time and effort but also prolong the service life of the file.

The full length of the half-round files is approximately 31.5 cm (12.4 inches), with a file blade length of around 200 mm (8 inches). The width and thickness of the file are approximately 20 mm (0.8 inches) and 5.5 mm (0.2 inches), respectively, and the total weight is around 171 g (6 oz).

When using the files, it is important to note that no lubricant or water should be added, as this can cause rusting or file slippage. After use, all iron filings should be carefully brushed off before storage. Additionally, the files should be stored in a dry, well-ventilated environment, as high humidity can lead to corrosion.

It is worth noting that the fine-toothed files are not suitable for filing soft metals, as they may not be effective in removing material from these surfaces.

Overall, these half-round files are a versatile and durable tool that can be used for a variety of industrial and workshop applications, from garages to engineering workshops. Their ergonomic design, high-quality construction, and range of tooth textures make them a valuable addition to any toolbox.
