Metal File Square 200 mm NEO tools 37-322

NEO tools Metal File Square 200 mm (37-322) is a hand file with a square cross-section designed for shaping, deburring and finishing metal surfaces. With a 200 mm working length and square profile, this file is intended to reach inside internal corners, slots and narrow edges where flat or round files cannot access. The hardened and tempered steel body provides a uniform cutting surface suitable for manual filing of steel and non-ferrous alloys, while the ergonomic tang accepts a handle for controlled pressure and precise strokes.

Advantages

The square profile enables accurate removal of material from internal corners and grooves, producing straight edges and consistent surface finishing. Its 200 mm length balances reach and control, allowing the user to work both in tight spaces and on slightly larger surfaces. The file's tooth pattern is suitable for general-purpose metalworking tasks, combining efficient stock removal with a predictable finish. Compatibility with a standard handle improves safety and handling during prolonged use.

Suitable for

• Shaping and sizing internal corners and slots in metal components
• Deburring edges after cutting or drilling metal parts
• Finishing weld seams and metal joints in maintenance tasks
• Fitting and adjusting components in DIY and repair work

Key specifications

• Profile: square cross-section for internal corners and slots
• Overall/working length: 200 mm working length for balanced reach and control
• Material: hardened steel body with machined tooth pattern suitable for steels and non-ferrous alloys
• Tooth type: general-purpose cut for moderate stock removal and consistent finish
• Handle interface: tang compatible with standard file handles

How to use

Secure the workpiece in a vise or clamp to prevent movement. Fit a suitable handle onto the file's tang before use. Use long, even forward strokes while applying light downward pressure; lift the file on the return stroke to avoid dulling the teeth. For precision work in internal corners, position the square edges of the file into the slot and check progress frequently against the mating surface. Clean the file teeth periodically with a file card to maintain cutting efficiency and prevent clogging.

Usage recommendations

Wear appropriate eye protection and gloves when filing metal. Match the file's cut to the material and task: use a coarser cut for rapid stock removal and a finer cut for final smoothing. Store the file in a protective sleeve or separate compartment to prevent damage to the teeth.
