LP1185

Equalling files are parallel in width and thickness. They are used primarily for filing slots and corners. Measurements given are at the thickest point of the file.

Things you should know about ordering hand files:

Glardon-Vallorbe Swiss Made Precision Files are measured from the point where the teeth begin to the end of the file. A 6" precision file will measure 8-1/2" long from tip to end of tang, but it is called a 6" file. Glardon-Vallorbe Swiss Made Precision Files are graded with a number from 00 for coarsest to 6 for finest. Remember, the higher the number the finer the cut.  LP1185 is no longer available in 6" lengths.
