Files set Yato YT-6160 Flat Half-round Round Square Triangular 3mm 140mm

The Yato YT-6160 Files set includes five different file profiles — flat, half-round, round, square and triangular — each with a working width of 3 mm and a length of 140 mm. Designed for metalworking, these files are intended for shaping, deburring and finishing small parts and detailed surfaces. The compact dimensions and multiple profiles make the set suitable for precision filing in confined spaces and for tasks that require controlled material removal.

Advantages

The set offers a selection of commonly used file profiles that cover a range of cross-sectional shapes, allowing accurate work on edges, slots, holes and contours. Uniform length and narrow width provide consistent handling and access to tight areas. Hardened and tempered working surfaces retain cutting geometry for reliable performance during repeated use. The compact size reduces vibration and improves control when performing delicate filing operations.

Suitable for

• Metal deburring and edge finishing
• Shaping and fitting small mechanical parts
• Enlarging or finishing holes and slots
• Model making and precision engineering
• General workshop maintenance and repair tasks

Key specifications

• File profiles: flat, half-round, round, square, triangular
• Working width: 3 mm
• Overall working length: 140 mm
• Material: high-carbon tool steel with hardened working surface
• Cut type: medium-cut teeth suitable for controlled metal removal

How to use

Select the file profile that matches the shape you need to produce or refine. Secure the workpiece to prevent movement, then use smooth, even strokes away from the body to remove material. Apply consistent pressure on the forward stroke and relieve pressure on the return stroke to maintain tooth effectiveness. For internal curves use the half-round or round file; use the triangular file for corners and the square file for slots. Clean the file teeth periodically with a file card or wire brush to maintain cutting efficiency.

Usage recommendations

Wear appropriate eye protection when filing metal and secure small parts in a vise or clamp. Use cutting fluid for harder alloys to reduce heat and improve finish. Store files dry and avoid using them to pry or as screwdrivers to preserve their profile and cutting surface.
