Semi-Circular Hand File – Professional Metalworking Tool

Brief Overview

This semi-circular file is a foundational hand tool for any professional metalworking, automotive, or fabrication shop. The curved-flat cross-section profile makes it ideal for finishing curved surfaces, deburring, and detail work on metal components. With a coarse tooth pattern and tapered design, it cuts efficiently across a wide range of steel hardness levels. Stock this alongside complementary round files and triangular profiles to offer your customers a complete hand-filing solution.

Key Features

• Semi-Circular Profile – Curved on one side, flat on the other; ideal for both concave and flat surface work
• Coarse Tooth Pattern – Aggressive cutting action; reduces filing time on rough material removal
• Tapered Design – Pointed tip allows precision work in tight corners and confined spaces
• Compact Yet Functional – 12cm total length balances portability with sufficient working length
• Ergonomic Handle – Black cylindrical grip (5mm diameter) provides comfortable control during extended use
• Durable Metal Construction – Uniform gray finish; hardened steel maintains tooth integrity through repeated use

Why This File Works for Your Customers

For Metal Fabricators: The semi-circular profile handles both curved and flat surfaces in a single tool, eliminating the need to swap between profiles for simple finishing tasks.

For Automotive Technicians: Coarse teeth cut through hardened steel quickly, ideal for removing flash, burrs, and surface imperfections on engine blocks, castings, and suspension components.

For General Metal Workers: The tapered, pointed tip reaches into recesses and corners that larger files cannot access, making it invaluable for precision work on hinges, brackets, and custom metal parts.

Business Advantages

• Essential for Every Tool Kit – Semi-circular files are a standard in any professional shop. Stock depth here generates consistent turnover.
• Repeatable Demand – Hand files wear down with regular use; customers return to replace worn teeth.
• Margin-Friendly Pricing – Hand tools offer healthy profit margins with minimal overhead.
• Bundle Opportunity – Pair with round and triangular files to increase transaction size and reduce customer friction.

Professional Recommendation

Stock this semi-circular file as part of a broader hand-filing strategy. The semi-circular profile is the workhorse of metal finishing—it bridges curved and flat work with a single tool. For shops that move volume, maintaining inventory depth in multiple file profiles (round, triangular, and flat) ensures customers can complete jobs without delays and keeps them returning to your counter.
