A file set is a collection of files in various shapes and sizes, designed for shaping and smoothing materials. The most common file sets include 5-file, 8-file, and 12-file sets. The 5-file set, which includes typical shapes like cylindrical, flat, and triangular, suffices for most purposes. The 12-file set, with more variety, is often used by professionals in intricate work, such as jewelry engravers.
Files are essential tools for working with materials like wood and metal, used for tasks like smoothing surfaces or removing paint. The variety of shapes in a file set allows for greater flexibility in matching the file to the specific part of the material being worked on. Additionally, files are also used for shaping plastics, making them versatile tools in wood and metalworking, as well as plastic modeling.
Files are typically made from hard metals like carbon steel, with a textured surface known as the "blade." This blade, when rubbed against a material, gradually shaves it off. The effectiveness of a file depends on the hardness of both the file and the material. The design of the file's blade allows for sharpening by pressing the file against the material during use. Files vary in coarseness, serving different purposes from rough grinding to finishing. Diamond files, with diamond particles, and files specialized for ironworkers or woodworkers are available in sets, with options for coarser or finer grits to suit specific applications.
