File rasp Vorel 25161 — length 200 mm, hand file for shaping and deburring

Vorel 25161 is a 200 mm hand file designed for shaping, smoothing and deburring metal, wood and plastic surfaces. This single-piece half-round rasp with a convergent profile is intended for general workshop tasks such as fitting, finishing and removing excess material. It is suitable for precise manual filing, edge profiling and surface preparation prior to painting, assembly or welding.

Advantages

The half-round, convergent cut profile provides access to both flat and curved surfaces, combining a flat face for planing and a rounded side for concave contours. The double-cut tooth pattern enables faster material removal with a finer finish compared to single-cut files. A two-component plastic handle offers a secure grip and improved control during repetitive or precision filing operations, reducing hand fatigue and increasing accuracy.

Suitable for

• Shaping and fitting metal parts in workshop and repair tasks
• Deburring edges of machined or cut plastic components
• Smoothing wooden edges and profiles for finishing work
• Preparing surfaces before painting, welding or adhesive bonding

Key specifications

• Overall length: 200 mm
• Shape: half-round with convergent profile
• Cut type: double-cut teeth for efficient material removal and finer finish
• Handle: two-component plastic handle for improved grip
• Intended materials: metal, hard plastics, wood and similar materials

How to use

Secure the workpiece before filing to prevent movement. Hold the file by the handle with the other hand guiding the tip, and apply even forward strokes while maintaining consistent pressure; lift the file on the return stroke to avoid dulling the teeth. Use the flat face for leveling and the rounded side to work concave shapes or inside curves. Regularly clean the teeth with a file card or wire brush to maintain cutting efficiency.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use with protective gloves and eye protection. Match the file to the material hardness and desired finish: use the Vorel 25161 half-round double-cut rasp for moderate to coarse removal and initial shaping, then switch to finer files or abrasive papers for final surface smoothing.
