File/Rasp Vorel 25352, length 160 mm, pack of 6

Vorel 25352 is a set of six 160 mm files and rasps intended for shaping, smoothing and removing material from wood, plastic and soft metals. The compact length makes these hand tools suitable for precision work, edge routing, deburring and small repair jobs in the workshop or at home. Each tool in the pack offers a different profile to address a range of surface and shaping needs while the plastic handles provide grip and handling during use.

Advantages

The set groups multiple profiles in a single pack, reducing the need to buy separate files for different tasks. The 160 mm length balances control and cutting area for fine work and confined spaces. Plastic handles deliver a consistent grip and protect the user’s hand from direct contact with the file body. Uniform manufacturing and medium tooth cut make the tools suitable for a variety of materials such as wood, many plastics and soft non-ferrous metals.

Suitable for

• Precision shaping and finishing of wooden components
• Deburring and edge smoothing of plastic parts
• Small repairs and fitting tasks on soft metals such as aluminium and brass
• Detail work in model making and cabinetry
• Preparing surfaces before painting or glueing

Key specifications

• Quantity: six files per pack
• Working length: 160 mm for each file
• Profiles included: flat convergent and parallel, triangular, round, semicircular and knife-shaped
• Handle material: plastic
• Intended materials: wood, plastics, soft non-ferrous metals

How to use

Select the file profile appropriate to the task and hold the plastic handle firmly while supporting the workpiece. Use smooth, even strokes along the material grain when working with wood, and apply moderate pressure to avoid removing too much material. For plastics and soft metals use lighter pressure and monitor the surface frequently to prevent heat build-up or melting. Clean metal files periodically with a file card or wire brush to maintain cutting performance.

Usage recommendations

Wear appropriate eye protection and gloves when filing. Secure the workpiece in a vise or clamp for safe, stable operation. Match the file profile to the contour you need to create—round and semicircular files for concave shapes, triangular for internal angles, knife-shaped for fine trimming, and flat profiles for general smoothing and planing.
