Half-Round Metal File Profix RPSC 250 mm with Wooden Handle (model 69202)

The Half-Round Metal File Profix RPSC 250 mm with Wooden Handle is a hand tool for shaping, smoothing and deburring metal, wood and plastic surfaces. Its half-round cross-section combines a flat face and a curved face to address both concave and convex profiles, making it suitable for a variety of fitting and finishing operations in workshops, maintenance and DIY projects. The wooden handle provides a comfortable grip and secure control during repetitive filing tasks.

Advantages

This half-round file delivers consistent material removal on curved and flat surfaces thanks to its dual-profile design. The hardened and tempered steel tooth pattern ensures durable cutting performance and even stock removal. The wooden handle offers tactile feedback and reduces hand fatigue compared with handles that transmit more vibration. The tool’s overall length and medium-length cutting surface balance reach and control for general metalwork and repair tasks.

Suitable for

• Shaping and smoothing metal edges and contours
• Deburring sheet metal and machined components
• Finishing wooden or plastic parts with curved profiles
• General fitting, adjustment and repair in workshops and home garages

Key specifications

• Tool type: half‑round hand file with single cutting surfaces (flat and curved)
• Overall cutting length: medium — 250 mm filing surface
• Material: hardened and tempered steel file body for sustained cutting action
• Handle: wooden handle shaped for ergonomic grip and control
• Application materials: metal, wood and plastic
• Typical tooth pattern: multi‑cut for general-purpose material removal and finishing

How to use

Secure the workpiece before filing to prevent movement. Hold the wooden handle firmly with one hand and guide the tip or flat face with the other hand as required by the profile. Apply steady, even forward strokes in the cutting direction and lift the file on the return stroke to preserve the teeth. For curved surfaces use the rounded side, for flats use the flat side. Clean file teeth periodically with a file card to maintain cutting efficiency and avoid clogging when working with soft metals or wood.

Usage recommendations

Wear appropriate eye protection and gloves when filing. Match file coarseness to the task: start with a coarser file for heavy material removal and finish with finer grades as needed. Store the file in a dry place and avoid contact with other tools to keep the wooden handle and cutting edges in good condition.
