Half-round file 200 mm faster tools 02-2-0115 — hand file, single-cut, metal and wood shaping

Half-round file 200 mm faster tools 02-2-0115 is a hand file with a 200 mm working length designed for shaping, smoothing and deburring metal and wood. The half-round profile provides a flat face and a curved back, enabling work on both flat surfaces and concave or rounded contours. The single-cut tooth pattern is intended for controlled material removal and producing a finer surface finish on thin sections, edges and joints.

Advantages

The half-round geometry offers versatility by combining flat and curved filing surfaces in one tool. The single-cut teeth give consistent, fine cuts that reduce chatter and make the file suitable for finishing and light stock removal. With a 200 mm working length the tool reaches into grooves and recessed areas while still providing stable control for manual filing. The design is compact and balanced for one-handed operation and precise shaping.

Suitable for

• Shaping and fitting metal parts and profiles
• Smoothing and finishing wooden edges and small furniture details
• Deburring cut edges on sheet metal and machined components
• Working on concave surfaces, grooves and rounded contours
• Fine adjustment and manual finishing in repair and assembly tasks

Key specifications

• Working length: 200 mm
• Profile: half-round (flat face and curved back)
• Cut type: single-cut
• Intended materials: metal and wood
• Hand-operated manual file suitable for fine finishing and light stock removal

How to use

Hold the file by the handle with one hand and support the workpiece securely in a vise or with clamps. Apply even forward strokes along the surface to remove material; lift the file on the return stroke to avoid dulling the teeth. Use the flat face for straight edges and flats, and the curved back for concave surfaces or rounding. Adjust pressure and stroke length according to the material and the amount of material to be removed—lighter pressure for finishing, firmer for shaping. Regularly clear swarf from the teeth with a wire brush to maintain cutting efficiency.

Usage recommendations

For best results use with a properly fitted handle, secure the workpiece to prevent movement, and wear eye protection. Choose the single-cut half-round file for finishing and precision work; if faster material removal is required consider a double-cut or coarse file instead.
