Aluminum-Body File Modeco MN-66-722 250×40 mm — hand file for metal and wood

Modeco MN-66-722 is a hand file with an aluminum body measuring 250×40 mm, intended for manual material removal and surface finishing on metal and wood. The tool combines a rigid lightweight body with a rectangular filing surface suitable for deburring, smoothing edges, shaping parts and preparing surfaces for painting or further machining.

Advantages

The aluminum body provides reduced weight while maintaining structural rigidity, improving control during prolonged use. The 250×40 mm working surface gives a balance between reach and maneuverability for common workshop tasks. The file's teeth pattern and construction enable effective removal of material from both ferrous and non-ferrous metals as well as wood, making it a versatile hand tool for finishing operations.

Suitable for

• Deburring and removing sharp edges on metal parts
• Smoothing and shaping wooden edges and profiles
• Preparing surfaces for painting, gluing or welding
• Light corrective work on castings, fittings and sheet metal
• General maintenance and hobby workshop tasks

Key specifications

• Body material: aluminum
• Overall filing surface size: 250 × 40 mm
• Intended materials: metal and wood
• Tool type: hand file for manual use
• Typical applications: deburring, smoothing, shaping, surface preparation

How to use

Secure the workpiece firmly in a vise or clamp to prevent movement. Hold the file with both hands—one near the handle and the other guiding the tip—and apply steady, even strokes away from the body of the file. Use the full length of the filing surface when possible to maintain a consistent finish, and check progress frequently to avoid over-removal. For metal, use moderate pressure and clear filings regularly; for wood, lighter pressure and finer finishing strokes will produce a smoother surface. Clean the file teeth with a wire brush after use to maintain cutting efficiency.

Usage recommendations

Choose an appropriate tooth pattern and coarseness for the task: coarser teeth for rapid material removal and finer teeth for finishing. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment—gloves and eye protection—when filing metal or wood. Store the file in a dry place to prevent contamination of the teeth and to preserve the aluminum body.
