These files and rasps are primarily designed for use on metals. The rasps can also be effective on wood and some plastics.
Flat and hand files are general-purpose. Round files are for holes and concave surfaces. Square files are for slots and corners. Three square files are for corners and grooves. Rasps are for faster, rougher material removal.
Information on purchasing individual replacement files or rasps is not provided with this product description. Contact Draper Tools customer service for specific availability.
The set comes in a tool roll, which is ideal for storage. Ensure the roll is kept in a dry environment and that the files are not crammed together to avoid dulling or damaging the teeth.
While files can be used for some sharpening tasks, specialized sharpening stones or files are generally recommended for maintaining sharp edges on tools like knives or chisels.
A file has teeth that are cut in rows and provides a smoother finish. A rasp has larger, individually distinct teeth and is designed for faster, rougher removal of material, especially on softer substances like wood.
Use a wire brush or file card to gently clean the debris from the teeth. Scrape the cleaning tool in the same direction as the file teeth.
Ensure the file teeth are clean. If the file is worn, it may need to be replaced. Check for damage to the teeth.
Gently clean the rust spots with a fine steel wool or rust remover. Apply a light coat of oil for protection and store in a dry place.
Ensure your grip on the soft handle is firm and secure. Make sure the workpiece is properly clamped to prevent movement.
Setup: This set requires no assembly. Simply unroll the tool roll to access the files and rasps. Ensure the tool roll is stored in a dry place to prevent corrosion.
Compatibility: These files and rasps are standard tools designed for use on metal, wood, plastic, and other similar materials. They are compatible with most general workshop environments and toolboxes.
