FAQs

What grit is this diamond file?

This DMT Half-Round Diamond File is 325 grit, which is considered a fine grit suitable for smoothing and finishing.

How do I use the file on recessed edges?

Moisten the file, then use the rounded side of the file, rubbing it back and forth along the inside or recessed edge of the glass.

How do I use the file on sharp raised corners?

Moisten the file and use the flat side of the file, rubbing it back and forth across the sharp, raised edges of the glass.

Do I need to use water with this file?

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.

Can this file be used on materials other than glass?

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.

How long will the diamond surface last?

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.

What is the size of the file?

The file has a 1/4 inch width.

Troubleshooting

File is not removing glass effectively.

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.

Diamond surface appears dull.

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.

Glass dust is sticking to the file.

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, Compatibility & Care

Setup: No complex setup is required. The file is ready to use out of the packaging.

Compatibility: This file is specifically designed for smoothing glass edges. It can be used on various types of glass, including float glass, art glass, and some thicker sheet glass. Avoid using on brittle materials like ceramics or stone, as this may damage the file or the material.

Care: To maintain optimal performance and longevity:

  1. Moisten the File: Always moisten the diamond surface with water before and during use. This lubricates the surface and helps carry away glass dust.
  2. Clean After Use: After each use, rinse the file under running water to remove any glass dust or debris.
  3. Dry Thoroughly: Allow the file to air dry completely or gently wipe it dry with a soft cloth before storing.
  4. Store Safely: Store the file in a dry place, preferably in its original packaging or a protective sleeve, to prevent damage to the diamond surface.
