Hand File MEGA 69106 — 250 x 24.5 x 6.3 mm industrial metalworking file, no. 3

MEGA 69106 is a hand file for metalworking with dimensions 250 x 24.5 x 6.3 mm, designated as no. 3. It is intended for shaping, deburring and smoothing metal surfaces in workshop and maintenance environments. The file's compact form factor makes it practical for precision filing on edges, small parts and fittings while remaining suitable for general-purpose metal finishing tasks.

Advantages

The hand file offers a balanced combination of cutting efficiency and control, enabling accurate material removal without excessive effort. Its medium-sized profile and consistent tooth pattern provide predictable stock removal and a uniform surface finish. The compact dimensions allow access to tighter spaces and make the tool easy to handle for extended use.

Suitable for

• Shaping and trimming metal edges and profiles
• Deburring after cutting or drilling operations
• Smoothing weld seams and fitting joints
• Precision finishing on small components and fittings

Key specifications

• Overall length: 250 mm
• File width: 24.5 mm
• Thickness: 6.3 mm
• Cut designation: no. 3 (medium/standard cut)
• Intended use: metalworking hand filing for shaping, deburring and smoothing

How to use

Secure the workpiece firmly in a vise or clamping device. Hold the file with one hand on the handle and the other guiding the tip, applying even forward strokes across the surface to remove material. Lift the file on the return stroke to avoid dulling the teeth. Use progressively finer filing motions for final smoothing and maintain consistent pressure to preserve flatness and profile. Clean filings from the teeth periodically with a wire brush to retain cutting performance.

Usage recommendations

Use protective gloves and eye protection during filing operations. Select this medium-cut hand file for general-purpose metal finishing; for heavy stock removal choose a coarser cut and for fine finishing opt for a finer-cut file. Store the file dry and avoid contact with corrosive substances to maintain tooth integrity.
