Glardon-Vallorbe Escapement Files - Set Of 12 - Cut 6 XFine

Escapement files — also called watchmakers files — are narrower and thinner than standard needle files, purpose-built for the most delicate and precise filing work in watchmaking and fine metalsmithing. This set of 12 Cut 6 Extra Fine escapement files from Glardon-Vallorbe represents the finest grade available in the escapement file range, ideal for highly refined finishing and detail work on intricate components.

All escapement files feature square handles and measure 5½" (14 cm) from tip to handle end. For escapement files, the millimeter measurement always refers to the cut length — not the overall tip-to-tip length. This set brings together a curated assortment of profiles and cut lengths to cover a wide range of precision filing needs at the bench.

Glardon-Vallorbe Swiss Made Precision Files are manufactured to exacting production standards, combining machine cutting with hand craftsmanship to produce exceptionally accurate, long-lasting files. Made from the finest heat-tempered chrome alloy steel, they deliver superior performance across all metals. Formerly distributed by Grobet USA under the Grobet Swiss name, Glardon-Vallorbe remains the world standard for quality and performance.
