Round metalworking file Profix RPSC 200 mm with wooden handle (model 69252)

Profix RPSC 200 mm round metalworking file with wooden handle is a hand-operated tool designed for shaping, deburring and smoothing internal curved surfaces and holes in metal and other materials. Its round cross-section and 200 mm working length allow controlled removal of material from concave profiles, circular grooves and reamed bores. The wooden handle provides a secure grip for manual finishing tasks in workshop, repair and light machining environments.

Advantages

The round geometry of this metalworking file ensures even contact along curved contours and enables precise material removal in hard-to-reach internal radii. The 200 mm length offers a balance between reach and control for typical workshop operations. A wooden handle reduces vibration transfer to the hand and gives tactile feedback for careful manual work. The hardened and tempered file surface delivers consistent cut performance and can be used on a variety of metals and non-metallic materials suitable for hand filing.

Suitable for

• Shaping and smoothing internal curved surfaces and holes
• Deburring circular edges and reamed bores
• Fitting and finishing work on pipes, shafts and round profiles
• Workshop repairs, maintenance and light metalworking

Key specifications

• Shape: round cross-section for internal and concave profiles
• Working length: 200 mm
• Handle type: wooden handle for manual grip and control
• Material surface: hardened and tempered file teeth suitable for metal filing
• Cut type: single-cut or double-cut tooth pattern suitable for smoothing and deburring (check the file face before use)

How to use

Secure the workpiece firmly in a vice or clamp to prevent movement during filing. Hold the wooden handle with one hand and support the file near the tip with the other hand for guidance. Apply steady, even forward strokes along the curved surface, lifting the file on the return stroke to avoid dulling. Check progress frequently and remove small amounts of material until the desired fit or surface finish is achieved. Clean metal filings from the teeth periodically with a file card or brush to maintain cutting efficiency.

Usage recommendations

Always use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and gloves. Choose the round file for internal contours and reamed holes where flat files cannot reach. Store the file in a dry place and avoid striking it against hard surfaces to preserve tooth geometry. For best results, pair the file with fine-grit emery cloth or abrasive stones for final finishing.
