Profix round locksmith file with wooden handle RPSC 200 mm (model 69251)

Profix round locksmith file RPSC 200 mm is a hand tool with a wooden handle designed for shaping, smoothing and deburring metal and similar materials. With a 200 mm working length and a round cross-section, it is intended for enlarging holes, profiling curved surfaces and refining internal contours in metalworking, locksmithing and repair tasks. The wooden handle provides secure grip and controlled pressure during manual filing, while the tapered round blade allows access to concave shapes and tight internal radii.

Advantages

The round profile of this locksmith file ensures even material removal on curved surfaces and inside circular or irregular cavities. The moderate 200 mm length balances reach and control for precise hand operations. A wooden handle offers a comfortable and traditional grip that reduces vibration transfer to the hand. The hardened file surface is suitable for mild to medium material stock removal and for finishing work after drilling or machining.

How to use

Secure the workpiece firmly in a vise or fixture before filing. Hold the wooden handle with a comfortable two-handed grip when needed to control pressure and angle. Move the file in long, smooth strokes in the cutting direction, lifting on the return stroke to avoid dulling the teeth. Use the tapered portion of the round blade to reach internal curves and to progressively enlarge holes; change filing angle and position as the shape develops for even material removal. Clean filings from the file teeth regularly with a file card to maintain cutting performance.

Usage recommendations

For best results, select the appropriate coarseness of file for the task: coarser teeth for rapid stock removal and finer teeth for finishing. Wear eye protection and gloves as needed, and avoid applying excessive lateral force that may damage the file or workpiece.
