Wood file half-round 200 mm Topex 6112-T1 (06A832)

The Wood file half-round 200 mm Topex 6112-T1 (06A832) is a hand tool designed for shaping, smoothing and finishing wooden surfaces and edges. With a 200 mm working length and a half-round profile, this wood file allows controlled material removal on both convex and concave contours. It is intended for use in carpentry, joinery and DIY projects where accuracy and surface refinement are required.

Advantages

The half-round geometry combines a flat and a curved surface in a single tool, providing versatility for a range of woodworking tasks. The 200 mm working length offers a balance between reach and control, enabling precise shaping along edges and in grooves. The file’s tooth pattern is suited for consistent material removal and a smooth finish on soft and common hardwoods. Its straightforward design makes it compatible with standard handle fittings for comfortable manual operation.

Suitable for

• Shaping and profiling wooden edges and mouldings
• Smoothing convex and concave surfaces
• Fitting joints and refining tenons
• General carpentry and DIY repair work
• Preparatory surface work before sanding or finishing

Key specifications

• Working length: 200 mm
• Profile: half-round (flat on one side, curved on the other)
• Material removal: medium-coarse tooth pattern for wood
• Intended material: designed for use on soft and common hardwoods and wood-based materials
• Attachment: standard tang for use with compatible handles

How to use

Use the file with a compatible handle fitted to the tang and secure the workpiece before starting. For efficient material removal, draw the file across the wood with steady forward strokes, keeping consistent pressure and angle. Use the curved side for concave shaping and the flat side for straight edges and planar surfaces. Regularly clear sawdust from the teeth with a file card or brush to maintain cutting efficiency and avoid clogging. Finish with finer abrasives if a smoother surface is required.

Usage recommendations

Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, such as safety glasses and a dust mask, when filing wood. Match the file’s tooth coarseness to the task: use medium-coarse teeth for faster shaping and follow with finer tools or sandpaper for a refined finish. Store the file in a dry place to prevent corrosion and protect the teeth from damage.
