Files and rasps

Files and rasps: versatile tools for precise work 

Files and rasps are essential tools for working with metal, wood and plastic. They are extremely versatile and allow you to remove material in a targeted manner, smooth surfaces and adjust shapes precisely. Their ease of use makes them indispensable for both professionals and hobbyists.

The variety of tools: the right solution for every task 

There are different types of files and rasps depending on the requirements. Flat files are ideal for flat surfaces, round files for interior surfaces and curves, while triangular files are especially suitable for corners and recesses. Key and precision files are used for fine work such as in model making. Rasps, on the other hand, allow material to be removed quickly, especially with wood and soft materials. The choice of the right tool depends on the task and the material.

Areas of application: Files and rasps in practice 

In metalworking, files and rasps are used to deburr, shape and adjust workpieces. In woodworking, they ensure smooth cutting edges and precise details. They are also indispensable when working with plastic, for example for adjusting edges and shapes. They provide valuable services in repair and restoration, whether for spare parts or pieces of furniture.

Care and storage: For long-lasting precision 

Proper care is crucial to ensure that files and rasps work precisely for a long time. Residues should be removed after use and the tools should be stored in a dry place to prevent corrosion. Cutting surfaces need protection from impacts to maintain their sharpness. In addition, files and rasps should always be used for the intended materials to minimize wear. With the right care, they remain indispensable companions for clean and professional results.
