Description
A half-round slim precision file works the inside of a ring and other tight interior curves, where a standard half-round file is simply too wide to reach. The Glardon-Vallorbe LP1566 is tapered in both width and thickness to a point and is cut on both sides, so a single file handles the flat surface and the curved surface in the same pass. Every measurement listed reflects the thickest point of the file.
Glardon-Vallorbe is the sole manufacturer of files in Switzerland, so every file carrying the Swiss Made designation is a Glardon-Vallorbe file.
File length is measured from where the teeth begin to the end of the file and does not include the tang. A 6" precision file, for example, measures roughly 8½" from tip to the end of the tang. Cut grades run from 000 (extra extra coarse) to 6 (finest), and the higher the number, the finer the cut. This shape is offered in 6", 8" and 10" lengths in cut grades 000 through 5.
