Profix metalworking triangular file with wooden handle RPSE 200 mm number 3

The Profix metalworking triangular file with wooden handle RPSE 200 mm number 3 is a hand tool designed for precise filing and shaping of internal angles, grooves and edges on metal, wood and plastic. The triangular cross-section allows access to narrow slots and is suitable for sharpening saw teeth, while the wooden handle provides a comfortable, non-slip grip for controlled manual work in workshops, maintenance and hobby tasks.

Advantages

The triangular geometry delivers three cutting faces for consistent material removal in confined spaces. A 200 mm working length balances reach and control for detailed tasks. The wooden handle absorbs some vibration and provides tactile feedback during use, improving accuracy when filing delicate edges or finishing profiles. The hardened and cut teeth are arranged to offer efficient stock removal while maintaining a predictable cutting action.

Suitable for

• Filing internal angles and corners in metal, wood or plastic
• Sharpening saw teeth and reworking serrated edges
• Deburring and finishing narrow slots and grooves
• Model making, tool maintenance and small repair tasks

Key specifications

• Shape: triangular cross-section with three cutting faces
• Overall working length: 200 mm
• Cut: number 3 (medium-fine tooth pattern suitable for general metalworking and finishing)
• Handle material: wood for secure manual grip
• Typical materials: suitable for use on metal, wood and plastic

How to use

Secure the workpiece firmly in a vise or appropriate clamp. Hold the file by the wooden handle and support the tip with the free hand to maintain alignment. Use smooth, even strokes away from the body, applying light to moderate pressure on the forward stroke and lifting slightly on the return stroke to prolong file life and preserve tooth sharpness. For internal angles, engage the appropriate cutting face and work progressively, checking fit frequently to avoid over-cutting. Clean the teeth regularly with a file card or wire brush to prevent clogging and ensure consistent cutting performance.

Usage recommendations

Use personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and gloves. Match the file cut to the material and the required surface finish—number 3 is suitable for general filing and finishing. Store the file in a protective sleeve or tool roll to avoid damage to the teeth and to maintain cutting efficiency.
