Description
Files do the shaping, truing and finishing at the jeweler's bench, and this master assortment covers that work in one 20-piece kit. It brings together the most popular Swiss Made files formerly used by the Revere Academy of San Francisco: genuine Swiss Made Glardon-Vallorbe files, the same files that Alan Revere used and recommended throughout his teaching career. These files were formerly branded as Grobet Swiss files in the USA. Files marked Swiss Made and bearing the Glardon-Vallorbe factory "Fish" logo are made in Switzerland. The kit holds 7 hand files, 12 needle files and 1 escapement file, all heat-tempered chrome alloy steel supplied tang only with no handle fitted. Sold as one kit.
This kit covers the files necessary for 90% of the courses once offered by the now-closed Revere Academy, making it a starting point for anyone entering the jewelry trade or building a professional-grade file collection.
The kit arrives in a tear-resistant, heavy-duty plastic Glardon-Vallorbe factory-branded case. A clear plastic flap secures the files in place, and the case rolls up and snaps shut for compact storage. The case includes 16 additional empty slots for expanding your collection.
