Metal File Topex 200 mm square 06A724 — hand file for metalworking, 200mm length

Topex square metal file 06A724 is a hand file for metalworking with a 200 mm blade length, intended for shaping, deburring and smoothing metal surfaces. The square cross-section gives reliable access to corners, internal angles and narrow slots, allowing controlled removal of material and precise edge formation. This tool is suited for workshop use, hobby projects and light industrial maintenance where attention to corner geometry and clean finishes is needed.

Advantages

The square profile provides four flat cutting faces for consistent material removal and predictable filing behaviour. Its 200 mm blade balances reach and control, making the file effective for both small detail work and moderate-size surfaces. Hardened and ground teeth ensure lasting sharpness and steady performance during repeated use. The handle design offers a secure grip to reduce slippage and improve accuracy while filing corners and internal angles.

Suitable for

• Shaping and sizing metal edges and corners
• Deburring after cutting, drilling or machining
• Finishing internal angles and narrow slots
• Hobby and model-making where precise corner work is required
• Light maintenance and repair tasks in workshops

Key specifications

• Blade length: 200 mm
• Cross-section: square
• Intended material: metal
• Cut: multipurpose file teeth suitable for shaping and finishing
• Handle: ergonomic hand file handle for controlled grip

How to use

Secure the workpiece before filing to prevent movement. Hold the handle with one hand and support the tip with the other to maintain a steady angle. Use smooth, even strokes away from the body, applying light pressure on the forward stroke and lifting slightly on the return to avoid clogging the teeth. For internal corners, position the file so one of the square faces contacts the angle, and use controlled passes until the desired shape and fit are achieved. Regularly clear filings from the teeth with a file card to preserve cutting efficiency.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and gloves. Match the file cut to the material hardness and the level of finish required; for fine finishing, use lighter pressure and inspect progress frequently. Store the file in a dry place and avoid contact with other tools to keep the teeth sharp and prevent damage.
