Individual Glardon-Vallorbe Escapement Shape Buff Files

Individual Glardon-Vallorbe escapement-shaped buff files are ceramic-coated finishing and burnishing tools formed in popular escapement file profiles. Unlike traditional steel files, these tools use a diamond-bearing composite coating to smooth, blend, and burnish hard-to-reach areas with the precision and control of a file shape.

Key Features

• Escapement file shapes for precise access and control
• Diamond composite coating (factory rating: G10) for consistent, long-lasting cut
• Finish range comparable to approx. 500–800 grit (30–20 µm); with very light pressure can approach 900–1200 grit (20–15 µm)
• Stiff body maintains crisp edges for bevels and flanks
• Effective on titanium, steel, high-karat white gold alloys; can be used on enamel
• Sold individually

Applications

• Watchmaking & micromechanics: beveling and flank finishing
• Jewelry: removing sprue lines, deburring, blending transitions
• General finishing in areas typically handled by fine rubber wheels or stones

Care & Cleaning

• On soft metals (e.g., gold), clean periodically to prevent loading.
• Recommended methods: ultrasonic cleaning, a quick alcohol dip, or lift debris with Bergeon Rodico.
• Use light, even pressure to extend coating life; let the diamond composite do the work.
