File Set ks tools 5-piece Model 140.3000 — metal files set, varied shapes and sizes

File Set ks tools 5-piece Model 140.3000 — metal files set, varied shapes and sizes is a five-piece collection of hand files intended for shaping, deburring and finishing work on metal, wood and plastics. The set combines different file profiles and lengths to handle common workshop tasks, repair and maintenance operations, and precision fitting. Each file is made from hardened steel with cut patterns suited to material removal and surface finishing while the handles are shaped for comfortable manual control.

Advantages

The set provides a selection of complementary file profiles that reduce the need to switch between individual tools during a job. Hardened steel construction ensures wear resistance and consistent cutting performance. Ergonomically shaped handles improve grip and control for extended use. The varied shapes and sizes allow controlled material removal, smoothing of edges and preparation of surfaces for fitting or bonding.

Suitable for

• Shaping and fitting metal components
• Deburring cut edges on sheet metal and pipes
• Finishing wooden workpieces and plastic parts
• Small-scale repair and maintenance tasks in workshops and garages

Key specifications

• Number of pieces: 5
• Material: hardened steel file bodies
• Assorted profiles: flat, half-round, round, triangular and square (varied tooth patterns)
• Handle: ergonomic hand grips for manual filing
• Typical applications: shaping, deburring, smoothing and precision filing

How to use

Select the file profile appropriate to the material shape and the amount of material to be removed. Secure the workpiece in a vice or clamp to prevent movement. Apply firm, even strokes in the direction of the cutting pattern, using the full length of the file where possible to maintain consistent wear. For precision work, use light passes and frequently check the fit or surface. Clean filings from the file surface regularly with a file card or brush to maintain cutting efficiency.

Recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and gloves. Avoid excessive sideways pressure to prevent premature wear or breakage. Store files in a dry place and keep them separated to protect the teeth; cleaning after use extends service life.
