Glardon-Vallorbe Swiss Precision Joint Round Edge Files Complete Kit of 12

Part # 131.170KIT In Stock Weight -- lb / -- g
$345.00

This complete kit contains one each of all 12 thickness variations of the Glardon-Vallorbe Swiss Joint Round Edge Files, model LP-1170-4-2. Joint Round Edge files are parallel in both width and thickness, featuring rounded edges with teeth cut on the edges only. This geometry allows the file to cut in depth without widening the work area ā€” essential for fabricating joints, hinges, and tubing, as well as bridge and nut slotting in instrument repair.

Each file in this set is cut 2 (medium) with a 100mm (4") cut length and 10mm (0.39") width. Thicknesses range from 0.30mm to 2.00mm. Overall length including tang is 5-5/8".

Glardon-Vallorbe Swiss Made Precision 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 as the world standard for quality, accuracy, and longevity. Formerly distributed by Grobet USA under the Grobet Swiss label.
