Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: What are hand files used for?
A: Hand files are used for shaping, smoothing, deburring, and refining surfaces on metal, wood, and other materials. They are commonly used in fabrication, mechanical repair, and woodworking.

Q: What is the difference between flat, round, and half-round files?
A: Flat files are used for straight surfaces, round files are used for circular holes and curved openings, and half-round files can be used on both flat and curved surfaces.

Q: What does file “cut” mean?
