Grobet USA Swiss Pattern Precision 6" Round File – Cut 0-4

Designed for precision filing of holes, inside curves, and rounded corners, these Grobet USA Swiss Pattern round files feature a circular profile that gradually tapers toward the point. The tapered design allows you to work with a range of opening sizes while providing excellent control in confined and detailed areas.

The file is cut and workable all the way to the point, making it especially useful for enlarging holes, refining circular openings, shaping inside radii, and smoothing rounded corners. The double-cut surface provides efficient, controlled material removal for jewelry making, metalworking, fabrication, repair, and other precision applications.

Choose from Cut 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4 to match the amount of material removal and surface finish required.

Features & Benefits

• Round Profile: Ideal for enlarging holes, shaping circular openings, and refining inside curves and radii.

• Gradually Tapered: Diameter decreases toward the point, allowing one file to work in progressively smaller openings and confined areas.

• Workable to the Point: Cutting teeth extend toward the tip for precise filing in small holes and tight spaces.

• Double-Cut Surface: Provides efficient, controlled material removal.

• Multiple Cut Options: Choose from Cut 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4 for different stages of shaping, refining, and finishing.

• Swiss Pattern Precision: Designed for detailed work where accuracy, control, and consistent material removal are important.

• Versatile Bench Tool: Well suited for jewelry making, metalworking, fabrication, repair, and other precision filing applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a round file used for?
A round file is designed for filing holes, circular openings, inside curves, and rounded corners. Its tapered shape also makes it useful for gradually enlarging existing holes.

Does the file taper toward the point?
Yes. The round profile gradually decreases in diameter toward the point, allowing you to work in progressively smaller openings.

Can the tip be used for filing?
Yes. The file is cut and workable to the point, providing access to small holes and confined areas.

What is the difference between the available cuts?
Lower cut numbers provide a coarser cutting action and remove material more quickly. Higher cut numbers provide progressively finer cutting action for greater control and smoother finishing.

Which cut should I choose for faster material removal?
Cut 0 is the coarsest option offered on this listing and is best suited for initial shaping and faster material removal.

Which cut should I choose for finer finishing?
Cut 4 is the finest option on this listing and provides more controlled material removal for detailed filing and finishing.

Is the file double cut?
Yes. The working surface is double cut for efficient material removal.

Are all five cuts included with one purchase?
No. Cut 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 are individual selectable variants. Choose the cut that best matches the amount of material removal and finish required for your work.
