Flat hand files do the straight work at the bench: leveling a surface, truing an edge, and taking stock down on jewelry and fine metalwork. The LP1163 is parallel in width and tapered in thickness, with one safe (uncut) edge, and is supplied as a tang only with no handle fitted. Measurements are given at the thickest point of the file.
Glardon-Vallorbe Swiss Made precision files set the world standard for quality and performance. Manufactured to precise production standards using a combination of machine cutting and hand craftsmanship, they are recognized as the most accurate, best-cutting, and longest-lasting files available. Made from the finest heat-tempered chrome alloy steel, they deliver the feel, action, and balance professional jewelers, metalsmiths, and craftsmen demand, and they perform superbly on all metals. Formerly distributed by Grobet USA under the name Grobet Swiss.
Glardon-Vallorbe precision files are measured from the point where the teeth begin to the end of the file. A 6" precision file measures 8½" from tip to end of tang but is designated a 6" file. Cut grades run from 000 (XX-Coarse) to 6 (X-Fine), and the higher the number, the finer the cut.
