Profix RPSE Triangular Metal File with Wooden Handle 150mm Cut 3

The Profix RPSE triangular metal file is a professional-grade hand tool engineered for precision work on internal angles, narrow grooves, and sharp edges. With a 150mm blade length and a number 3 cut, this file is specifically designed for fine finishing and smoothing operations where accuracy is paramount. The inclusion of a traditional wooden handle ensures a secure and comfortable grip during extended use, making it a reliable choice for demanding metalworking tasks.

Advantages

This triangular file offers exceptional control for intricate filing tasks, allowing users to reach tight corners that standard flat files cannot access. The number 3 cut provides a fine surface finish, reducing the need for extensive post-filing sanding or polishing. The ergonomic wooden handle is designed to minimize hand fatigue, providing a natural feel and improved stability during manual operations. Its robust construction ensures long-lasting performance in professional workshop environments.

Suitable for

• Filing internal angles and sharp corners
• Smoothing narrow grooves and slots
• Deburring metal components
• Precision finishing in locksmithing and metalworking
• General workshop maintenance and model making

When it may not be suitable

This tool is not intended for heavy material removal or aggressive stock reduction, as the fine number 3 cut is optimized for finishing rather than rough shaping. It is also not suitable for use on non-metallic materials like wood or plastic, as the file teeth may become clogged quickly.

Key specifications

• Blade shape: Triangular
• Blade length: 150mm
• Cut type: Number 3 (Fine)
• Handle material: Wood
• Application: Metalworking

How to use

To achieve the best results, secure your workpiece firmly in a vice to prevent vibration during the filing process. Hold the handle of the file with your dominant hand and place your other hand on the tip of the blade to apply even pressure. Use long, steady strokes in a forward motion, lifting the file slightly on the return stroke to preserve the sharpness of the teeth. Maintain a consistent angle to ensure the geometry of the internal corner or groove remains uniform.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure the 150mm length is sufficient for the depth of your workpieces.
• Verify that the triangular profile matches the geometry of the grooves you intend to file.
• Consider the fine cut grade if your primary goal is surface finishing rather than rapid material removal.

Usage recommendations

Always clean the file teeth periodically with a wire file card to remove metal shavings and maintain optimal cutting efficiency. Store the tool in a dry place to prevent corrosion of the metal blade.
