DESCRIPTION
A Half Round File is a versatile hand tool used for filing and shaping materials. It features one flat side and one rounded (half-cylinder) side, making it ideal for filing both flat surfaces and curved or concave shapes such as holes, rounded corners, and grooves. It is commonly used by metalworkers, woodworkers, plumbers, and fabricators for smoothing, deburring, and shaping tasks. The file typically has a tapered shape with a tapered width and thickness toward the point, allowing access into smaller spaces. It is made from high carbon steel or durable carbon steel with sharp-cut teeth for efficient material removal.
