Profix half-round metal file with wooden handle RPSC 250 mm (model 69206)

The Profix half-round metal file RPSC 250 mm (model 69206) is a manual filing tool designed for shaping, smoothing and deburring metal and other hard materials. Its half-round cross-section provides both a flat face for straight filing and a concave surface for curved contours. The file features a wooden handle sized for a secure grip and a 250 mm working length that fits general metalworking, fitting, sharpening and maintenance tasks.

Advantages

The combination of a half-round blade and wooden handle offers versatility and control: the flat side handles planar surfaces while the rounded side follows grooves and curved profiles. Its 250 mm length balances reach and maneuverability for bench and field work. The wooden handle reduces vibration transfer to the hand and provides a stable grip for repetitive filing operations. The hardened steel filing surface maintains cutting edges for consistent material removal.

Suitable for

• Shaping and smoothing steel, iron and non-ferrous metals
• Deburring cut edges after sawing or shearing
• Refining curved or concave profiles
• General fitting, sharpening and maintenance tasks

Key specifications

• Working length: 250 mm
• Cross-section: half-round (flat and concave surfaces)
• Material: hardened steel filing surface
• Handle: wooden ergonomic handle
• Intended use: manual metal filing and deburring

How to use

Secure the workpiece in a vice or clamp to prevent movement. Hold the wooden handle with one hand and support the file near the tip with the other hand for control. Apply even forward strokes along the workpiece surface using the appropriate side of the half-round file: use the flat face for straight edges and the rounded face for curved profiles. Avoid excessive pressure; let the file’s cutting surface remove material. Periodically lift and clear filings from the teeth with a file card or brush to maintain cutting efficiency.

Usage recommendations

Use protective gloves and eye protection when filing. Choose the half-round file for jobs requiring both flat and curved surface work. Store the file in a dry place and avoid striking the teeth against hard objects to preserve the cutting surface. Regular cleaning of the file’s teeth extends lifetime and performance.
