Files

Planes, sandpaper, rasps and file sets are indispensable in crafts and industry. Files and rasps are also indispensable for hobby work. They are an extremely useful tool, for example, for restorers, carpenters or musical instrument makers. With us you have a wide selection of different files for different materials.

Files for wood or metal processing

Files can be used to process a wide variety of materials. Among other things, you will find files for wood, metals or plastics. Planes can be used to roughly process materials or to file sharp corners. Rasps are used to process plastic, leather, soft and hard wood or even marble. When it comes to the finer work, files are used. The right files give your workpieces a precise shape and a smoother surface structure.

Precise work with files

When rasping and filing, the workpiece is usually firmly clamped so that it cannot slip while working. To be able to work on the object, feed movements are made by hand. The rough surface ensures that the material is rubbed off. Working by hand has the advantage that the craftsman has a better feeling for the pressure he has to exert on the object. This makes the corresponding work more delicate and of higher quality.

Which files are available?

You can find files in different designs. They vary both in their surface structure and in their shape. Universal files have the advantage that different materials can be processed with the same file. Special files are designed for a specific material and therefore work more precisely. When working professionally, you should make sure that you have different files in order to be able to process different workpieces optimally. In our online shop you will find flat stump files, half-round files, triangular or square files as well as round files.

File storage

At Schäfer Shop you also have a large selection of different accessories for files. In a file bag, for example, you can store your files without damaging the tool or injuring others. Hardwood file handles serve as a handle for the file. They have a pressed-in tubular steel ferrule, which prevents the file from slipping or breaking off. You can also buy files from us as sets. Sorted into a hard foam insert, you can quickly find the right file again and do not lose track. You will also find sets with matching file handles in our online shop.
