Yes, it is highly recommended to moisten the diamond surface with water before and during use. This lubricates the surface, aids in dust removal, and extends the life of the file.
While primarily designed for glass, it may be suitable for very light finishing on other hard materials. However, its effectiveness and durability are optimized for glass. Avoid using it on softer materials or those that could quickly clog the diamond surface.
With proper care and use (keeping it moist, cleaning after use, and avoiding dropping), the diamond surface should provide long-lasting performance for many projects.
The file has a 1/4 inch width.
Ensure the diamond surface is adequately moistened with water. The grit may also be loaded with glass dust; rinse it thoroughly under running water and try again. Check if the file has been used excessively or if the diamond surface is worn down.
This can happen if the file has been dropped or subjected to excessive pressure. Try cleaning the surface vigorously with water and a soft brush. If the diamonds are physically worn away or damaged, the file may need replacement.
Make sure to keep the file wet during use and rinse it frequently. Using a small brush to dislodge particles while rinsing can also help.
Setup: No complex setup is required. The file is ready to use out of the packaging.

Care: To maintain optimal performance and longevity:
