File/rasp Vorel 25164, length 200 mm, hand tool for metal and wood, 1 pc

Vorel 25164 is a 200 mm hand file/rasp engineered for manual shaping, deburring and smoothing of metal and wood surfaces. Supplied as a single piece, the tool features a converging triangular profile and a two-cut tooth pattern that balances material removal rate with surface finish. The file includes a two-component plastic handle shaped for a secure grip during precision work and general workshop tasks.

Advantages

The triangular converging profile allows effective work in corners and along edges where flat or round files are less efficient. The twice-cut (double-cut) tooth pattern provides faster stock removal while maintaining acceptable control over the finish, making it suitable for roughing and intermediate filing. The two-component handle improves comfort and handling, reducing slippage and enabling longer use with less hand fatigue.

Suitable for

• Shaping and smoothing metal edges and small welds
• Trimming and finishing wooden corners and grooves
• Deburring cut parts and removing burs from drilled holes
• General workshop and DIY metalworking and carpentry tasks

Key specifications

• Overall effective working length: 200 mm
• Profile: triangular, converging
• Cut type: double-cut (twice-cut) for faster material removal
• Handle: two-component plastic for improved grip
• Supply: single unit (1 piece)

How to use

Secure the workpiece firmly in a vice or clamp before filing. Use the file with even, controlled strokes away from your body, applying pressure on the forward stroke and lighter pressure on the return if using a push-only technique. For corner and edge work, align the converging triangular profile into the area being shaped and use short strokes to remove material gradually. Clean the file teeth regularly with a file card to maintain cutting efficiency and avoid clogging when working with soft or resinous materials.

Usage recommendations

Wear appropriate eye protection and gloves when filing. Choose a lubricant or cutting fluid only when working on metals that benefit from reduced friction and heat; avoid lubricants when working with wood to prevent clogging. Match the file's cut and profile to the task—use the triangular double-cut Vorel 25164 for faster stock removal in corners and edges, and finish with a finer file or abrasive if a smoother surface is required.
