Round metalworking file with wooden handle Profix RPSC 200 mm (model 69253)

Round metalworking file Profix RPSC 200 mm (model 69253) is a hand file with a cylindrical cross-section designed for shaping, deburring and smoothing curved surfaces, holes and internal radii. The file has a 200 mm working length and a wooden handle that provides secure grip and controlled manual operation. It is suitable for use on steel, soft alloys and wood where a round profile is required for precision fitting and finishing.

Advantages

The cylindrical profile allows uniform material removal on curved surfaces and inside holes, ensuring consistent contours and radii. The wooden handle offers tactile feedback and a secure grip for controlled strokes, reducing hand fatigue during extended manual work. Hardened and tempered cutting surfaces maintain effective cutting performance and can be used for both rough shaping and fine smoothing depending on applied pressure and stroke technique.

Suitable for

• Shaping and enlarging holes and internal grooves
• Deburring and smoothing curved edges and radii
• Fine fitting of shafts, pins and rounded profiles
• Light removal of material from soft alloys and non-ferrous metals
• Detail woodworking where a round file profile is required

Key specifications

• File shape: cylindrical (round) cross-section
• Working length: 200 mm
• Handle material: wood for manual grip
• Cut type: double-cut or single-cut teeth suitable for shaping and smoothing (based on model construction)
• Recommended materials: steel, soft alloys, non-ferrous metals, wood

How to use

Secure the workpiece in a vise or clamp to prevent movement. Hold the wooden handle with a comfortable grip and position the round file so the cylindrical surface contacts the curved area or hole to be worked. Apply even forward strokes while maintaining light pressure for finishing or firmer strokes for material removal. Periodically clean the teeth with a file card to maintain cutting efficiency. Avoid excessive twisting or side loads that could damage the teeth or alter the file profile.

Usage recommendations

For optimal results, match the file diameter to the curvature of the workpiece and progress from coarse shaping to fine smoothing. Use cutting lubricant when working with harder alloys to reduce clogging and heat. Store the file in a dry place and protect the teeth from contact with other tools to preserve sharpness.
