Files set YATO YT-6145 — 9-piece hand files (oval, flat, half-round, knife-edge, round, square, triangular), 140 mm, for metal

YATO YT-6145 is a 9-piece hand file set designed for metalworking. Each file in the set has a 140 mm working length and a different profile — oval, flat, half-round, knife-edge, round, square and triangular — to cover common shaping, deburring and finishing tasks. The set provides a compact assortment of profiles for precise material removal and surface refinement in workshop, maintenance and hobby applications.

Advantages

The set offers a range of file profiles in a single compact kit, allowing selection of the correct geometry for internal and external contours, slot and corner work, and surface smoothing. Uniform 140 mm length across files makes handling predictable and simplifies reach planning. Hardened and tempered steel teeth provide consistent cutting performance on metallic surfaces, while ergonomic handles or tangs (depending on use with separate handles) ensure controlled movement during filing.

Suitable for

• Shaping and fitting metal parts in workshops and maintenance
• Deburring edges after cutting or machining
• Finishing small surfaces and internal contours
• Preparing joints, slots and grooves for assembly
• Hobby and model-making metalwork

Key specifications

• Set composition: nine hand files in varied profiles (oval, flat, half-round, knife-edge, round, square, triangular)
• Working length: 140 mm for each file
• Intended material: metalworking — for steel, non-ferrous metals and metal alloys
• Cut type: standard single- or double-cut teeth suitable for shaping and deburring
• Construction: hardened and tempered file blades for wear resistance

How to use

Select the file profile that matches the contour or edge to be worked. Secure the workpiece in a vise or fixture to prevent movement. Hold the file with a handle or suitable tang grip, apply even forward strokes along the surface, and use light to moderate pressure; lift the file on the return stroke if using single-cut technique. For internal or curved surfaces, use round, half-round or oval profiles; for flat faces and edges, choose flat or square files. Frequently remove filings from the teeth with a brush to maintain cutting efficiency and avoid clogging.

Use personal protective equipment — safety glasses and gloves — and ensure the workpiece is firmly clamped. Match file profile and cut to the material hardness and the required finish. Regularly clean and store files dry to prevent corrosion and maintain tooth sharpness. Avoid excessive pressure to prevent premature wear and preserve profile accuracy.
