What is fine finishing with hand files?
Finishing with hand files is one of the oldest methods of metalworking. Finishing involves using a series of progressively finer files to smooth, shape, and deburr the metal surface. Hand filing is a process that produces very precise results. Hand filing allows precise control over the final shape and finish of the metal. It is also often more cost-effective than using power tools, with no expensive specialised equipment needed. The finished job is largely dependent on the skill of the metalworker. Buy from our range to enhance your metalworking.
