Glardon-Vallorbe Round Escapement Files - LE3021

A round escapement file reaches into a small hole, a tight radius, or a slot on a watch or jewelry component and cuts right to the point. Glardon-Vallorbe Round Escapement Files (LE3021) are Swiss-made precision files for watchmakers, jewelers, and metalsmiths who demand the finest cutting performance. They are gradually tapered and cut all the way to the point, and also known as watchmakers files, they carry square handles for confident grip and control.

Escapement file lengths are measured from the tip to the end of the cut; the tang and handle are not included in this measurement. Width dimensions are given at the thickest point.

Glardon-Vallorbe Swiss made files are manufactured to precise production standards using a combination of machine cutting and hand craftsmanship. Made from the finest heat-tempered chrome alloy steel, they deliver superior performance on all metals and are recognized worldwide as the standard for quality, accuracy, and longevity.
