Standard Precision Files

Available49 products

Standard precision files leave smooth surfaces and fine finishes on workpieces that are too large for or don't require the intricate material removal of needle files. These Swiss-pattern files make smoother cuts, remove material more gradually, and are made to more exacting dimensional standards than American-pattern files.

Barrette Files

Barrette Files
Barrette files taper in width and thickness to access tight spaces and debur or smooth keyways, slots, gear teeth, and internal angles of workpieces. They cut only on one face with the other faces being safe (toothless) to prevent marring of adjacent surfaces.

Equaling Files

Equaling Files

Equaling files cut on all sides to shape and finish all surfaces of slots and corners. They are commonly used to file keyways and mortises. Their rectangular profile is the same width and thickness from heel to point to produce uniform filing anywhere along the faces and edges. The faces are flat and provide a wide area of contact for general filing and removing material from even surfaces and linear edges.

Half-Round Files

Half-Round Files

Half-round files smooth and finish flat or round surfaces. Their flat face makes full contact with even surfaces and linear edges, and their convex face conforms with rounded grooves, holes, and edges.

Pillar Files

Pillar Files
Pillar files are rectangular like flat files but narrower and tapering in thickness for more intricate smoothing and finishing work. They also follow up after square files to perform the finishing step when turning round holes into square holes. Their safe (toothless) edges prevent marring of adjacent surfaces when filing in corners and square slots.

Pippin Files

Pippin Files
The teardrop cross section of pippin files provides a knife-like edge that cuts V-shaped grooves and a rounded edge that smooths round-bottom grooves. Also known as apple-seed files, they finish junctions where curved surfaces meet, enlarge tapered slots, and impression keys in locksmithing.

Round Files

Round Files
Round files remove material from holes, circular openings, and concave surfaces. They smooth or enlarge holes, shave bevels on curved edges, round off circular workpieces, and cut or finish keyholes.

Knife-Edge Files

Knife-Edge Files

Knife-edge files abrade material in corners, narrow slots, and tight angles. Their thin edges file keyways, fastener threads, and V-grooves. Tool-and-die makers and jewelers use knife files on workpieces with very acute angles.

Square Files

Square Files
Square files abrade materials in square or rectangular slots, grooves, and keyways. They enlarge slots and recesses, turn round holes into square holes, smooth and shape the inside of corners, and score material to bend it to a 90° angle.

Triangular Files

Triangular Files

Triangular files abrade material in tight corners and angles less than 90°. Also known as three-square files, they clean up square corners, create V-grooves with 60° angles, and start the process of squaring round holes before switching to a square file.
