My go-to video on RUclips to learn file basics. Spent 10 minutes trying to find it again just now. Just what I needed.
Thank you for this video, you literally provided all the answers I was looking for, with a quick and easy answer
We're so happy to hear that! We're glad that you found it helpful.
Thank you so much for sharing this video. I'm new at wood working and this helped a lot. Have a wonderful day! I appreciate your knowledge and time.
You are welcome! We are glad you liked it.
Thanks so much :) Very helpful!
Super simple yet thorough explanation of the file types and different grits based on numbers. Thanks this answered most my basic questions on files and gave me a better understanding of them. Could you make a video explaining the difference between Surface hardness in files? For example "1200 HV surface hardness" which is on a Pferd Corinox file. Why that is beneficial to stainless steel and special alloy metals?
Hello, and thanks for watching! We're glad that you found this video to be useful, and we'll pass your suggestion along to our team. Thanks again, and have a great day.
Hello there, which 8 inch half round ring file would you recommend for a beginner? There’s quite a few on the rio grande website with different cut patterns, are these important? Also, is a handle necessary when working with files?
Hi there! A handle makes it more comfortable to use a file - it also gives you more control. The cut of the file determines how coarse the the file is. A#2 is more aggressive than #4, for example. We recommend starting here: www.riogrande.com/product/Friedrich-Dick-Half-Round-Hand-File-Cut-3/114709. Here is the handle that also goes well with that file: www.riogrande.com/product/glardon-vallorbe-plastic-size-4-hand-file-handle/114923.
We hope this is helpful, please let us know if you have any other questions!
Thank you Mark! Very helpful walkthrough of the different files. I completely agree that if I had to work with just one file, the half round in a medium grit would be it. Needle files are also quite handy for details and getting into corners to finish off the edges.
I have a 14k white gold that fits but gets tight sometimes and leaves red marks on my finger can you scratch off gold with these ?
If you wrap that gold ring in a $100 bill and send it to me, I’ll small it up for you.
what is the carbon content in hand files please?
Hi There, Thanks for your question. In this video we show many files, so it is difficult to specify the carbon content of each individually. However, most tool steel contains between .5% and 1.5% carbon. This ensures that the hardness and strength of the tools is optimal, without increasing the carbon content to the point that the steel becomes brittle. Hope this helps!
+wranglerstar maybe these guys can help you out
the file I use most is a barrett file
