Glardon-Vallorbe Screwhead with Tang Precision Files - LP1840

A screwhead file cuts and cleans the slot in a small screw, or any narrow slot, without touching the faces on either side of it. Glardon-Vallorbe Screwhead with Tang Precision Files are numbered by thickness, not cut: the final number in the part number gives the thickness of the file rather than a cut grade. LP1840-4-4, for example, is a 4 in file with a thickness of #4, which equals 0.55mm on this scale.

All screwhead files share the same cut type, single cut, applied only on the edges. Both flat sides are safe (uncut), which makes these files suited to precise slot work without unintended material removal on adjacent surfaces. They are supplied as a tang only, with no handle, in lengths of 3 in and 4 in, with thicknesses from 0.45–0.80mm, and are made in Switzerland from the finest heat-tempered chrome alloy steel.

Notes

• File lengths are measured from the point where the teeth begin to the end of the file; the tang is not included in the stated length.
• For reference, a 6 in precision file measures approximately 8-1/2 in overall from tip to end of tang.
• The final number in the part number is a thickness number, not a cut grade.
