FAQs

What is the primary material these files are made from?

The files are made from durable T12 alloy steel, known for its hardness and wear resistance.

Can these files be used on glass and tile?

Yes, the set is suitable for working with glass, tile, ceramic, and mirror surfaces.

What is the difference between the large files and the needle files?

The large files (flat, semi-circle, circle, triangle) are designed for general shaping and material removal, while the 12 smaller needle files are intended for intricate detail work, precision filing, and finishing.

How do I maintain the files to ensure they last?

Regularly clean the teeth with the included wire brush to remove debris. Store them properly in the carrying case to protect the teeth from damage and prevent rust.

Are the handles interchangeable?

The handles are permanently attached to each file and are not designed to be interchangeable.

What is the length of the large files?

The four large files (flat, semi-circle, circle, triangle) are each 315mm (approximately 12.4 inches) long.

What is the length of the needle files?

The 12 needle files are each 145mm (approximately 5.7 inches) long.

Troubleshooting

Files are not cutting effectively

Ensure the file teeth are clean and free of debris. Use the wire brush to remove any clogged material. Check if the file is appropriate for the material being worked on.

File teeth are becoming dull quickly

Avoid excessive force or scraping on inappropriate materials. Ensure proper cleaning after use to prevent material buildup. Store files properly in the case to protect the teeth.

Handles feel uncomfortable during use

Ensure you are gripping the handle correctly. The ergonomic design aims to reduce fatigue, but individual comfort may vary. Take regular breaks during extended work sessions.

Carrying case is difficult to close

Check that all files are placed securely in their designated slots and are not overlapping or misaligned. Ensure no external debris is interfering with the closure.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile assortment of large and needle files for diverse tasks.
  • Durable T12 alloy steel construction for long-lasting performance.
  • Comfortable, non-slip ergonomic handles reduce user fatigue.
  • Includes a cleaning brush to maintain optimal file condition.
  • Portable carrying case for easy storage and transport.

Cons

  • Primarily designed for harder materials; may not be ideal for soft woods or plastics.
  • Requires proper cleaning and maintenance to prevent clogging.
  • Needle files are small and best suited for detailed finishing rather than heavy material removal.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The AojSup 17Pcs Metal File Set requires no assembly. Upon receiving the set, simply unfold the carrying case to access the files. Ensure each file is correctly seated in its designated slot for optimal organization.

Compatibility: This file set is designed for use on a wide range of materials including metals, wood, glass, tile, ceramic, mirror, and leather. It is not intended for use on very soft plastics or rubber where fine-tooth files might clog excessively.

Care: To ensure the longevity and performance of your files:

  1. Cleaning: After each use, especially when working with softer materials that can clog teeth, use the included wire brush to gently remove debris. For stubborn residue, a solvent or degreaser may be carefully applied, followed by brushing. Always brush in the direction of the teeth.
  2. Storage: Store the files in their provided carrying case to protect the teeth from damage and prevent them from dulling or rusting. Avoid storing them loosely with other metal tools.
  3. Rust Prevention: While made of T12 alloy steel, prolonged exposure to moisture can lead to rust. Ensure files are dry before storing. A light coat of oil can offer additional protection in humid environments.
