File Profix triangular metalworking with wooden handle RPSE 200 mm (model 69351)

Profix triangular metalworking file RPSE 200 mm (model 69351) is a hand tool designed for shaping, deburring and smoothing edges on metal, wood and plastic. The file has a triangular cross-section that allows access to internal angles, grooves and tight corners, while the wooden handle provides a secure, comfortable grip for controlled filing. The 200 mm working length makes it suitable for a range of workshop and maintenance tasks requiring moderate reach and precision.

Advantages

The triangular profile enables accurate filing of internal angles and V-shaped grooves that flat or round files cannot reach. Sharp, uniformly cut teeth give consistent material removal and predictable results without aggressive gouging. A wooden handle absorbs some vibration and improves hand stability during extended use. The 200 mm length balances accessibility and control for general metalworking and carpentry operations.

Suitable for

• Shaping and refining internal angles in metal components
• Deburring cut edges on sheet metal and small parts
• Smoothing and fitting wooden joints and plastic parts
• General workshop maintenance and repair tasks

Key specifications

• File shape: triangular cross-section for internal angles and grooves
• Working length: 200 mm
• Handle material: wood for firm grip and vibration dampening
• Cut type: uniformly cut teeth suitable for controlled material removal
• Suitable materials: metal, wood, plastic

How to use

Secure the workpiece firmly in a vise or clamp to prevent movement. Hold the wooden handle with one hand and steady the file near the tip with the other if additional control is needed. Apply even forward strokes along the workpiece surface, using the triangular faces to engage internal angles or grooves. Lift the file on the return stroke to avoid dulling teeth and maintain consistent cutting action. Regularly clear filings from the teeth with a file card or brush to preserve cutting efficiency.

Usage recommendations

Use light, consistent pressure and maintain the correct filing angle for the material being worked. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and gloves when filing metal. Store the file dry and avoid knocking the teeth against hard surfaces to prolong service life.
