Friedrich Dick Escapement File Set, #5, Set of 10

This set of Friedrich Dick escapement files features 10 commonly used file shapes and knurled handles for a firm grip and fast, sure access to the style you need when you need it. They are ideal for your most delicate filing and shaping tasks, for smoothing tiny details, and for creating inside cuts. The set includes one file of each shape in a plastic carrying case: warding, equalling, round, half-round, barrette, crossing, knife, three-square, square and round-off.These files have a German cut #5; German-cut files are graded by the number of teeth, counting teeth parallel to the long axis of the file. German cuts start coarser than Swiss and go finer, offering more increments for more precise cutting. In all cut styles, the higher the number, the finer its cut.Escapement files are narrower and thinner than standard needle files with shorter cutting surfaces and longer, square handles. Effective on gold, silver, platinum, titanium, steel and other metals, escapement files are best suited for work that requires little metal removal.Among the finest jewelers' files in the world, Friedrich Dick files are made of tough chrome/tool steel alloy and precisely machined to yield sharp corners and fine points. These files have deep-cut teeth that provide efficient, uniform stock removal and are 66–67 HRC hardness for exceptional service with minimal care.
