Files for Air-Powered Filers

Half-round files can be used on concave, convex, and flat surfaces.

Round files are good for filing holes and concave surfaces.

Triangular files have three filing surfaces to work in spots others can't.

Double Cut—Surface has two sets of diagonal teeth and is often used with heavier pressure than single cut for rapid material removal.

Single Cut—Surface has one set of diagonal teeth and is often used with light pressure to slowly remove material and sharpen tool-cutting surfaces.
