Metalworking round file Profix RPSC 250 mm with wooden handle (model 69255)

The Profix RPSC 250 mm round metalworking file with wooden handle is designed for shaping, deburring and finishing metal surfaces where a circular or concave profile is required. At 250 mm overall length, this round file provides a balance of reach and control for general workshop and repair tasks. The wooden handle offers a secure grip and traditional feel for sustained use, while the hardened steel file body is suitable for use on both ferrous and non-ferrous metals and for light tool sharpening and precision filing.

Advantages

The round profile allows accurate material removal in grooves, concave surfaces and rounded edges, delivering consistent shape control. The wooden handle provides ergonomic handling and reduces vibration during filing. The file's teeth are cut to give predictable stock removal and a clean finish, making it useful for deburring and checking fits. Its 250 mm length gives good access in confined spaces while remaining easy to control for fine work.

Suitable for

• Shaping and enlarging circular grooves and holes
• Deburring edges and removing burrs from metal parts
• Finishing and smoothing concave surfaces
• Light tool sharpening and maintenance of hand tools
• General workshop metal filing tasks

Key specifications

• Type: round hand file
• Length: 250 mm overall
• Handle material: wood
• Material suitability: ferrous and non-ferrous metals
• Surface finish: cut teeth for filing and deburring

How to use

Secure the workpiece before filing to prevent movement. Hold the wooden handle with one hand and support the file near the tip with the other hand for guidance. Use smooth forward strokes with moderate pressure; lift the file on the return stroke if using single-cut technique. For controlled material removal, make several light passes rather than applying excessive force. Clean the file teeth regularly with a file card to maintain cutting performance and to avoid clogging when working with softer metals.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and gloves when filing. Match the file profile and cut to the task: choose a round file for grooves and concave shapes, and ensure steady, even strokes for best results. Store the wooden-handled file dry and separate from other tools to protect the handle and maintain tooth sharpness.
