Description

Escapement files, also called watchmakers files, are short files used for close detail work at the bench, and their length is measured from the tip to the end of the cut rather than over the tang. These Swiss made Glardon-Vallorbe three square escapement files are gradually tapered and cut to the point, with all three faces cutting, so they follow interior angles and V-shaped grooves. The three square profile is also listed as triangular, triangulaire or Dreikant.

Glardon-Vallorbe Swiss made files are manufactured to precise production standards, using a combination of machine cutting and hand craftsmanship. They are made of heat-tempered chrome alloy steel and deliver consistent performance on all metals.

Features

  • Three square profile, gradually tapered and cut to the point
  • All three faces cut, with no safe edge
  • Heat-tempered chrome alloy steel
  • Square handle section, supplied as a tang with no separate handle
  • Cut lengths of 40mm (1.6") at 2.8mm wide and 55mm (2.2") at 3.4mm wide, measured at the thickest point
  • Cut grades 0 (coarse) through 10 (finest): the higher the number, the finer the cut

Highly recommend considering Otto Frei

I was drawn to Otto Frei by a need for tools to repair broken gear teeth on clock gears. I learned that much of what I would need to do was akin to jewelry repair and fabrication. After learning about the best techniques and tools for that kind of work I found Otto Frei to have a great selection of the pieces that I needed. I have now placed three orders for a variety of saw blades and related equipment as well some finer files. All of the tools I have bought seem to do what I need very well and all of the transactions with Otto Frei have been excellent. Communication is quick and keeps you up to date on your order and shipping is always prompt, usually arriving even before promised. I will continue to use them for my future needs and highly recommend.

Absolutely perfect for what I need

Otto frei always ships quickly and has amazing prices on all types of jewelry related tools. Their file selection is vast and the files are high quality in my book. Now I just need to sell more jewelry so I can get all the files (and other amazing tools they carry). Lol! I used to solely buy from another company but since I discovered Otto frei, I keep coming back
