Metal file half-round 200 mm högert technik HT3B801

Half-round metal file högert technik HT3B801 with a 200 mm working length is a hand tool designed for shaping, deburring and smoothing metal surfaces where both flat and concave contours must be addressed. The tool combines a flat face and a curved face in a single file, allowing controlled material removal on steel, iron and other ferrous materials. Its 200 mm filing surface makes it suitable for general workshop and maintenance tasks, and it is intended for manual use in metalworking and repair kits.

Advantages

The half-round profile offers versatility by providing a flat side for planar surfaces and a rounded side for concave or contoured areas. A 200 mm working length gives a balance between reach and control for handheld operation. The file is suitable for finishing, deburring and light stock removal on ferrous metals and is compatible with standard hand tool workflows in workshops and maintenance settings.

Suitable for

• Shaping and fitting metal parts in workshop repair and maintenance
• Deburring edges after cutting, drilling or grinding
• Smoothing weld seams and preparing surfaces for further treatment
• Fitting or adjusting metal components with flat and curved surfaces

Key specifications

• Working length: 200 mm
• Profile: half-round (flat face + curved face)
• Intended material: steel, iron and other ferrous metals
• Use: manual hand filing for shaping, deburring and finishing

How to use

Hold the file by the handle with a firm two-handed grip—one hand on the handle and the other guiding the tip—so you can control pressure and angle. Use long, even strokes away from your body, applying pressure on the forward stroke and releasing slightly on the return stroke to prevent clogging and reduce wear. Use the flat face for planar surfaces and the curved face for concave or rounded profiles. Periodically clean the teeth with a file card or wire brush to maintain cutting efficiency and to remove metal filings.

Usage recommendations

Wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and gloves. Secure the workpiece in a vice or clamp to prevent movement. Avoid using the file on hardened surfaces beyond its intended capacity to prevent premature tooth wear. Store the file away from moisture and other tools to protect the cutting teeth.
