Files set YATO YT-6156 — flat, half-round, round, square, triangular files, 180 mm, for metal

YATO YT-6156 is a set of hand files intended for metalworking tasks. The kit includes flat, half‑round, round, square and triangular files, each 180 mm in length, designed for shaping, deburring and finishing metal surfaces and edges. These files are suitable for general metal fabrication, maintenance and fitting work, as well as hobby metalworking where precise material removal and contouring are required.

Advantages

The set provides a range of cross‑sections that cover most common filing operations, from broad surface work to internal radii and slot profiling. Consistent length across tools ensures predictable reach and control. Hardened and tempered steel teeth deliver effective cutting performance and long life under normal use. Ergonomic handles or tangs (depending on handle attachment) offer comfortable handling for manual use and improved accuracy when dressing or shaping metal.

Suitable for

• Shaping and finishing metal edges and surfaces
• Deburring cut or machined metal parts
• Fitting and adjustment of small metal components
• Creating or refining internal radii and grooves
• Hobby metalwork, model making and small repairs

Key specifications

• Set composition: flat, half‑round, round, square, triangular files
• File length: 180 mm (individual file length)
• Material compatibility: suitable for ferrous and many non‑ferrous metals
• Cut type: hand file teeth for manual material removal and finishing
• Typical use: shaping, deburring, finishing and fitting operations

How to use

Select the file profile that best matches the shape you need to achieve. Secure the workpiece before filing to prevent movement. Use steady, even strokes away from the body applying consistent pressure on the forward stroke while lifting or reducing pressure on the return stroke to avoid dulling the teeth. For internal radii or grooves, use the round or half‑round files; for flats and edges use the flat or square profiles. Clean file teeth regularly with a wire brush to maintain cutting performance and check progress frequently to avoid over‑filing.

Usage recommendations

Wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and gloves. Match the file profile to the task and avoid excessive force; let the file do the cutting. Store the set dry and protected to prevent corrosion and keep files separate or wrapped to avoid knocking the teeth against other tools.
