Files & Rasps

A flat wood file is a hand tool used for shaping, smoothing, and refining the surfaces of wood. It typically consists of a flat, narrow, rectangular piece of metal with a series of parallel, coarse teeth or ridges along one or both of its sides. These teeth are designed to efficiently remove material when drawn across the wood grain, allowing for the leveling and smoothing of wooden surfaces. Flat wood files are commonly used in woodworking and carpentry for tasks such as shaping edges, refining contours, and removing rough spots on wood surfaces.

A triangular hand steel file is a tool used in metalworking and woodworking for shaping, smoothing, and refining surfaces. It is characterized by its cross-sectional shape, which is triangular, with three equal sides meeting at a point. The file typically has cutting teeth along its edges, allowing it to efficiently remove material when drawn across a workpiece. Triangular hand files are versatile tools suitable for various applications, including deburring, shaping corners, and refining intricate details in a variety of materials.
