Round Metalworking File with Wooden Handle Profix RPSC 150 mm (nr 2) - 69250

Round metalworking file Profix RPSC 150 mm (nr 2) with wooden handle is a hand tool intended for shaping, deburring and smoothing internal curved surfaces, holes and round profiles in metal, wood and plastic. The 150 mm working length and round cross-section allow controlled material removal on circular openings, tapered bores and concave contours. The wooden handle provides a secure grip and tactile feedback for precise manual work, making this file suitable for repair tasks, metal fabrication detail work and hobby modelling where access to curved internal surfaces is required.

Advantages

The round shape concentrates cutting action along a curved profile for even material removal and consistent radii. A 150 mm length gives a balance between reach and control for narrow or confined areas. The wooden handle reduces hand fatigue during prolonged use and offers a reliable, non-slip contact surface. The tool is compatible with ferrous and non-ferrous metals as well as wood and plastic, supporting multi-material use without the need for specialized files.

Suitable for

• Enlarging or refining circular holes and bores
• Smoothing internal curved edges and radii after drilling or machining
• Shaping concave contours on metal, wood or plastic components
• Detail finishing in repair, fabrication and hobby projects

Key specifications

• Working length: 150 mm
• Cross-section: round
• Cut type: medium/coarse tooth pattern suitable for general-purpose metalworking
• Handle material: wood for ergonomic grip
• Application materials: suitable for steel, aluminum, brass, wood and plastics

How to use

Secure the workpiece in a vice or clamp to prevent movement. Hold the wooden handle firmly and position the round file inside the hole or against the curved surface. Apply even forward strokes while maintaining the file aligned with the intended profile; lift the file on the return stroke if using a single-cut technique to avoid clogging and achieve a smoother finish. Check progress frequently and remove filings from the teeth with a brush to preserve cutting performance. For precise material removal, use light, controlled passes and increase pressure only as necessary.

Usage recommendations

Wear appropriate eye protection and gloves when filing. Keep the file clean and store it to avoid contact with other tools that could dull the teeth. For finishing, follow with finer files or abrasive papers matched to the material and desired surface quality.
