Glardon Vallorbe® Key File Set, #2, Set of 6

This set of Glardon Vallorbe® key files includes six commonly used file shapes and ensures you have the file shape you need for all of your jewelry designs. Each file features a durable wood handle for a firm, comfortable grip. This file has a Swiss cut #2; Swiss-cut files are graded by the number of teeth, counting teeth perpendicular to the long axis of the file. In all cut styles, the higher the number, the finer its cut. A double-cut file features two sets of evenly spaced teeth set in two directions, one at a slightly different angle than the other. Double-cut files are designed to cut more aggressively, maximizing the work of each stroke to remove more metal with fewer strokes. At the end of the stroke, the file should be lifted from the workpiece and repositioned for the next stroke; dragging the file backward against the metal can mar the metal and damage the teeth. Key files are shorter in length than traditional hand files and include a handle that provides comfort and control of the file when in use. The length of a key file is measured from the tip of the file to the end of the handle. Key files are ideal for fast, efficient removal of material from the workpiece for initial shaping, for smoothing and, in finer cuts, for finishing. The first choice for most jewelers, Glardon Vallorbe® files are manufactured to the highest production standards, made in Switzerland of the finest heat-tempered chrome-alloy steel. The files are precision-ground to cut quickly and accurately and to last longer than just about any other file on the market.
