How to use

Secure the half-round file in a compatible drill chuck or portable holder that accepts hex shanks, ensuring the shank is fully seated to minimize wobble. For manual use, grip the file by the shank and guide the working face along the workpiece with steady, even strokes, applying consistent pressure in the cutting direction. When using a powered tool, run at a controlled speed appropriate for the material, and avoid excessive feed force to prevent clogging or uneven removal. Periodically clear filings from the teeth to maintain cutting efficiency and check the workpiece frequently for the desired shape and finish.

Usage recommendations

Use personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and gloves when filing. Match cutting direction and speed to the work material, and clean the file teeth after use to prolong life and maintain consistent performance.
