FAQs
Can I use these files on wood?
These files are optimized for steel, cast iron, brass, and hard plastics. Using them on wood may cause the teeth to clog quickly with resin and wood fibers.
What is the length of the files?
Each file in the set is 200mm in length.
Does the set include a storage case?
The set is provided in a standard package, but it is recommended to store them in a rack or organized drawer to prevent damage to the teeth.
How do I know which file to use?
While the set includes 5 pieces, choose the file profile (flat, round, half-round, etc.) that best matches the geometry of the surface you are filing.
Can these files handle stainless steel?
Yes, they are suitable for general steel and cast iron, which includes many types of stainless steel, provided you apply correct technique.
Troubleshooting
Files are clogging with material debris.
Use a specialized wire file card to brush out the filings from the teeth between uses.
The file feels dull during use.
Ensure you are applying firm, even pressure and using the full length of the file. If the file is rusted, it may need professional cleaning or replacement.
Pros and Cons

- Ergonomic handles improve grip and reduce vibration
- Versatile application across metals and hard plastics

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These files require no specific setup—they are ready for immediate use out of the box.
Compatibility: Use exclusively on the intended materials (steel, cast iron, brass, and hard plastics) to avoid premature dulling of the teeth.
Care Instructions:
- Clean After Use: Use a file card or wire brush to remove metal filings trapped in the teeth.
- Store Properly: Keep the files separated to prevent the teeth from hitting each other and dulling.
- Keep Dry: Store in a moisture-controlled environment to prevent rust.
- Handle Inspection: Periodically check that the handles remain tight and secure for safety.
