Half-round metal file with wooden handle Profix RPSC 200 mm (model 69207)

Profix half-round metal file RPSC 200 mm (model 69207) is a manual shaping and finishing tool designed for working on metal and mixed materials. The half-round cross-section combines a curved and a flat filing surface in one tool, enabling both convex and flat profile work. The wooden handle provides a secure grip and tactile control for precision filing during fitting, deburring and finishing operations in workshops or home DIY tasks.

Advantages

The half-round profile gives versatility by allowing both concave and flat surface treatment without changing tools. A 200 mm filing length balances reach and control for small to medium tasks. The wooden handle offers comfortable, non-slip handling and good torque transfer for controlled material removal. The hardened and tempered steel file surface is suited for cutting, shaping and deburring metal edges and components.

Suitable for

• Shaping and smoothing metal surfaces
• Deburring edges after cutting or drilling
• Fitting and adjusting metal parts in assemblies
• Sharpening and profiling hand tools and blades
• Hobby and DIY metalworking projects

Key specifications

• File type: half-round cross-section combining curved and flat faces
• Overall filing length: 200 mm
• Cut: general-purpose metal-cutting teeth suitable for removing material and deburring
• Handle: solid wooden handle shaped for manual grip
• Material: hardened steel file surface for wear resistance

How to use

Secure the workpiece in a vise or clamp to prevent movement. Hold the wooden handle with one hand and guide the tip or body of the file with the other for stability. Apply steady, even strokes in the cutting direction, using the flat face for planar surfaces and the curved face for concave or rounded contours. Maintain light to moderate pressure; lift the file on the return stroke to avoid dulling the teeth. Regularly clean filings from the file with a wire brush to maintain cutting efficiency.

Usage recommendations

Use eye protection and gloves when machining metal. Store the file in a dry place to prevent corrosion and avoid striking the cutting surface against hard objects to preserve tooth sharpness. For best results, pair the half-round file with a vise and finishing abrasives when preparing surfaces for painting or assembly.
