File/rasp Vorel 25173, length 200 mm, pack of 3

Vorel 25173 is a set of three metal files/rasps, each 200 mm long, designed for shaping, deburring and finishing work on metal, wood and some plastics. The compact 200 mm working length gives precise control for small parts, repair tasks and detailed handwork in workshops and at home.

Advantages

The set contains three converging profiles — flat, semicircular and round — providing versatility for different edge shapes and contours. Each file features serrated cutting surfaces for efficient material removal and two-component handles that improve grip and reduce hand fatigue during extended use. Steel construction ensures durability and consistent filing performance across a range of materials.

Suitable for

• Shaping and smoothing wooden components and edges
• Deburring and finishing metal parts in small repair jobs
• Trimming and profiling some plastic pieces and fittings
• Fine detail work on small craft or mechanical parts

Key specifications

• Quantity: 3 pieces
• Profiles: flat, semicircular, round
• Working length: 200 mm
• Material: steel
• Handle: two-component ergonomic handle

How to use

Select the file profile suited to the task — use the flat file for straight edges and surfaces, the semicircular file for curved channels and the round file for internal curves or enlarging holes. Hold the tool by the handle with a firm but comfortable grip and apply steady forward strokes along the workpiece, using consistent pressure. For metal, use longer strokes and check progress frequently; for wood and plastics, use shorter controlled strokes to avoid removing too much material. Clean the file teeth regularly with a file card or wire brush to maintain cutting efficiency.

Usage recommendations

Wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and gloves. Secure the workpiece in a vice or clamps before filing, and avoid applying excessive lateral force to prevent tool damage. Store the files in a dry place to reduce corrosion risk and keep the serrated surfaces protected.
