Round metalworker's file Profix RPSC 250 mm with wooden handle (model 69256)

Profix RPSC round metalworker's file, 250 mm long with a wooden handle, is a hand tool designed for shaping, deburring and smoothing metal surfaces. Its round cross-section provides controlled material removal on concave profiles, holes and curved edges. The wooden handle gives a stable grip for manual filing tasks in workshop, maintenance and fitting jobs.

Advantages

The round file profile enables even contact with curved and internal surfaces, reducing the risk of overcutting and improving surface finish. A 250 mm effective length balances reachable working area with ease of control for precision work. The wooden handle offers comfortable, non-slip handling during repetitive operations and helps absorb minor vibrations. The file's teeth are suited for general metalworking tasks such as smoothing burrs, removing flash from castings and refining welded seams.

Suitable for

• Shaping and smoothing concave or curved metal profiles
• Deburring holes, slots and internal curves
• Removing excess material from small castings and welded joints
• General fitting, finishing and maintenance work in workshops

Key specifications

• Overall working length: 250 mm
• Cross-section: round profile for internal and concave surfaces
• Handle material: wood for secure handhold
• Cut type: general-purpose metalworking teeth suitable for ferrous and non-ferrous metals
• Hand tool category: manual file for finishing and shaping operations

How to use

Secure the workpiece before filing to prevent movement. Hold the wooden handle with one hand and guide the file with the other hand near the tip to maintain control and the correct filing angle. Apply steady, even strokes in the cutting direction, lifting the file on the return stroke if using a single-cut or bastard-cut pattern. For removing material from internal curves and holes, rotate the file slightly as you advance to ensure uniform wear and a smooth finish. Clean file teeth regularly with a file card to prevent clogging and maintain cutting efficiency.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and gloves. Match file cut and coarseness to the material and required finish: start with a coarser cut to remove bulk material, then switch to finer filing for final smoothing. Store the file in a dry place and avoid heavy impacts to preserve the file teeth and the wooden handle.
