Woodworking and metalworking require a variety of hand tools, and files are must-haves for many projects. Whether you're a beginner looking for your first file set or need a specialty file for completing a certain task, Ace has top-rated products to suit your needs.
What Are the Parts of Files?
A basic understanding of a file's parts can help you better interpret directions for DIY projects and compare different types of metal and wood files. Here are the parts that you need to know:
- Point: The tip of a file that is on the opposite end from the handle once assembled.
- Tang: The pointed end of a file that secures the file into the handle.
- Heel: The base of the file just above the tang.
- Belly: The body of the file that runs from the point to the heel.
When comparing the length of files, the measurement refers to the distance from the point to the heel. It doesn’t include the length of the tang.
Different Types of Files
Knowing the difference between different types of files makes selecting the right one for your needs much simpler. Some of the most common files include:
- Single cut: A file with diagonal cuts that run parallel to one another, commonly used for precision work.
- Double cut: A file with two series of cuts that meet at a right angle, good for quickly removing wood.
- Woodchuck: A combination tool that functions as a chisel and a wood file.
- Mill file: A two-sided flat file used for sharpening blades on saws and other tools.
- Needle file: A small file available in various shapes, commonly used for fine detail work like enlarging holes in beads or engraving.
- Thread repair file: A metalworking file with a very coarse texture that can repair or restore worn threads on nuts, bolts, and screws.
How Do I Choose a Wood File?
When shopping for wood files, you'll typically need to choose two components: the handle and the file itself. As you compare handle options, pay attention to the size, as it determines what file attachments you can add. Some specialty handles allow you to interchange files and hand saw blades for added versatility.
To choose the right wood file, you'll need to consider your project's specifications. Buying a set may be the best solution for beginners hoping to take up woodworking as a hobby. Sets give you multiple files, giving you a range of options for each job. You can also find sets that include a handle.
