Notes
File length is measured from the point where the teeth begin to the end of the file and does not include the tang (handle) section.
Glardon-Vallorbe precision files use a numbered cut system: lower numbers are coarser for faster stock removal, while higher numbers are finer for smoother finishes.
Legacy Grobet Swiss part numbers are listed for cross-reference to earlier catalogs and tools.
