Half-round metal file Profix RPSC 250 mm with wooden handle (model 69204)

Profix half-round metal file RPSC 250 mm with wooden handle (model 69204) is a hand filing tool designed for shaping, smoothing and deburring metal surfaces. The half-round profile provides both a flat face for planar surfaces and a curved face for internal radii, making it a versatile choice for finishing edges, opening keyways and refining contours in metalwork. The wooden handle offers a secure grip and tactile feedback for controlled manual filing operations.

Advantages

The combination of a half-round cross-section and a 250 mm working length delivers balanced reach and control for a wide range of metal filing tasks. The tool is suitable for precision hand filing thanks to its tempered steel file body and close-cut teeth that remove material evenly. The wooden handle reduces hand fatigue during extended use and allows for reliable control when applying pressure or performing detail work.

Suitable for

• Shaping and smoothing steel and non-ferrous metal parts
• Deburring cut edges and holes
• Refining internal curves and radiused surfaces
• Fitting and assembly adjustments in workshops and repair shops

Key specifications

• Profile: half-round (flat and convex faces)
• Overall working length: 250 mm
• Material: hardened and tempered steel file body
• Handle: wooden handle for manual grip and control
• Tooth type: single-cut or multi-cut pattern suitable for metal finishing

How to use

Secure the workpiece in a vise or clamp to prevent movement. Hold the wooden handle with one hand and guide the file with the other, applying steady even strokes away from the body across the surface to be dressed. Use the flat face for planar surfaces and the curved face to follow internal radii or concave shapes. Clear filings from the teeth regularly with a file card or brush to maintain cutting efficiency and avoid clogging. Apply light pressure on the forward stroke and lift slightly on the return stroke to preserve the file's teeth.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and work gloves. Match the file tooth pattern to the material and stage of work: coarser teeth for rapid stock removal and finer teeth for finishing. Store the file clean and dry to prevent corrosion and avoid contact with other tools to keep the cutting edges intact.
