Description

Half-round precision files shape, smooth and fit jewelry components, watch parts and other fine metalwork under close control. The teeth bite cleanly while the file glides with a steady, predictable feel. The LP1560 is tapered in width and thickness to a rounded point, cut on both the flat and the rounded faces, and supplied as a tang only with no handle fitted.

Glardon-Vallorbe makes the LP1560 in Switzerland from heat-tempered chrome alloy steel, combining machine-cut teeth with hand craftsmanship for an accurate, consistent filing action. Lengths run 4", 5", 6", 8" and 10", in cut grades from 000 (XX-Coarse) to 6 (X-Fine).

Features

  • Half-round profile tapered in width and thickness to reach into curves, corners and tight spaces
  • Cutting surfaces on both the flat and the rounded faces for versatile roughing and finishing work
  • Combination of machine-cut teeth and hand craftsmanship for accurate, consistent filing action
  • Heat-treated for edge retention and long service life on a wide range of metals
  • Wide selection of lengths and cut grades to cover everything from rapid stock removal to fine finishing

Notes

File length is measured from the point where the teeth begin to the end of the file and does not include the tang.

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 in the 131.xxx and 31.xxx series cross-reference earlier catalogs and tools.

Good job.

Just started using this tool but it looks very promising. Expect to order more.
The level of communications once the order was places was nothing less then amazing.

Custom Gunmakers Should Be Aware

My application has nothing to do with jewelry. The Glardon-Vallorbe files and Otto Frei in general are a great source for custom gun builders. Very happy with the service, availability and quality.

8" #2 cut 1/2 round file

I have been using this file for more than 40 years and have replaced it a few times because I use the heck out of it. The quality is excellent and Otto Frei has been my go-to supplier for actually almost 50 years! They always have the best tools in stock and this is still a family business. In a world of sellouts these folks have old fashioned integrity.
