Steel File Set | High-Carbon Precision Hand Files for Metal & Wood


The Steel File Set is an essential tool for metalworkers, mechanics, and craftsmen. Each file is designed with sharp, diamond-patterned teeth that deliver smooth and precise results when shaping, deburring, and polishing steel, iron, wood, or plastic surfaces.

With various shapes and sizes — including flat, square, triangular, half-round, and round — this set provides all the versatility needed in a professional workshop.

Material & Hardness

Made from T12 or T13 high-carbon tool steel, each file undergoes quenching and low-temperature tempering to achieve a fine martensitic structure.

This ensures excellent wear resistance and long service life.

  • Material: High Carbon Steel (T12/T13)

  • Hardness: HRC 62–67

  • Finish: Smooth, anti-rust treated surface

    ⚠️ Due to high hardness, files should not be used as hammers or pry bars to avoid breakage.


Production Process

  1. Forging & Shaping – Steel blanks are forged into various profiles.

  2. Tooth Cutting – Diamond-shaped serrations are precisely cut on the surface.

  3. Heat Treatment – Through quenching + low-temperature tempering, high hardness and durability are achieved.

  4. Surface Finishing – Polishing, anti-rust coating, and ergonomic handle assembly.

    This process guarantees consistent performance and precision cutting ability.


Classification of Steel Files

Steel file sets are generally classified into three main categories:

🔹 1. Ordinary Files

Based on cross-section shape:

  • Flat Filefor flat surfaces and rectangular holes

  • Square Filefor corners and slots

  • Triangular Filefor inner corners and narrow spaces

  • Half-Round Filefor concave arcs and plane surfaces

  • Round Filefor circular holes and small-radius curves

🔹 2. Special Files

Designed for filing special contours or irregular shapes. Available in straight or curved profiles.

🔹 3. Assorted / Needle Files (Shaping Files)

Suitable for fine trimming of small parts, model work, or precision machining.


Applications

  • Metalworking & Machinery repair
