The rounding off profile is shaped like a half-round file but cuts only on the convex (bottom) face — the top rounded edge is safe with no cut, and the parallel sides do not taper. This geometry allows you to work inside curves or along edges without risk of marring adjacent surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEscapement file length is measured from the tip to the end of the cut area only — the tang and handle are \u003cem\u003enot\u003c\/em\u003e included in that measurement. Dimensions given are at the thickest point of the file. These files are also commonly referred to as watchmakers files.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eRounding Off – Para redondear – Arrondir – Walzfeile\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCuts only on the convex bottom face — top rounded edge is safe (no cut)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eParallel sides that do not taper, for consistent contact along the cut length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSquare handles for secure grip and precise control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufactured from fine heat-tempered chrome alloy steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduced to precise standards using a combination of machine cutting and hand craftsmanship\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable in three cuts: Medium (2), Fine (4), and Extra Fine (6) — higher number indicates finer cut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwiss Made by Glardon-Vallorbe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLE3012\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFile Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRounding Off Escapement (Watchmakers) File\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eOrigin\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSwiss Made\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40 mm (1.6\")\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWidth × Thickness (at thickest point)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.6 mm × 0.8 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHandle Style\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSquare\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCut Grading Scale\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 (Medium) through 6 (Extra Fine) — higher number = finer cut\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eLength Measurement Note\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMeasured tip to end of cut only; tang and handle not included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAvailable Options\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePart #\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCut Number\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCut Description\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLE3012-40-2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMedium\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLE3012-40-4\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFine\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLE3012-40-6\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eExtra Fine\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eNotes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEscapement files are also known as watchmakers files in the trade.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe higher the cut number, the finer the tooth — Cut 2 is the coarsest option available in this series; Cut 6 is the finest.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeasurements reflect the thickest point of the file cross-section.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Glardon-Vallorbe","offers":[{"title":"40-2","offer_id":43578800734422,"sku":"LE3012-40-2","price":28.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"40-4","offer_id":47807113560278,"sku":"LE3012-40-4","price":29.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"40-6","offer_id":47807113593046,"sku":"LE3012-40-6","price":34.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/9832\/0342\/files\/glardon-vallorbe-rounding-off-escapement-files-le3012-otto-frei-1.jpg?v=1719958768","url":"https:\/\/www.ottofrei.com\/products\/glardon-vallorbe-rounding-off-escapement-files-le3012-40mm","provider":"Otto Frei","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
