Narex Round Engineers File 200 x 8mm Double-Cut Timber Handle

Files are the unsung heroes of the woodworking workshop.

When used for shaping wood, files are finer than rasps, smoothing surfaces in a controlled fashion and refining the form.  They are more economical than disposable abrasives; a well-cared-for file will last a lifetime of woodwork.

Files have a multitude of workshop uses beyond wood shaping. Use them to sharpen your scrapers, to fit and adjust metal or plastic parts for mixed-material projects, to ease plane edges, to remove burrs from hacksawn steel… this list is almost endless.

Narex Engineers Files are beautifully balanced, sharp and precise tools for shaping a wide range of materials. Their timber handles are very comfortable, environmentally friendly, and fitted with solid brass tapered ferrules. The blades are made of carbon steel, heat-treated to 62 HRc. These double-cut files, graded as "medium cut," are coarse enough for material removal and smooth enough for finishing surfaces. The diagonal teeth intersect with a second set, enabling aggressive filing in both directions.

Manufactured entirely in the Czech Republic, Narex files are heirloom tools that will give you years of service.
