Glardon vallorbe – Barrette Precision Files – LP1060

Introduction

Barrette filesare tapered in width and thickness, coming to a rounded point at the end. Only the flat side of a barrette file is cut, leaving a safe edge and top. Measurements given are at the thickest point of the file.

Glardon-Vallorbe Swiss Made Precision Files are measured from the point where the teeth begin to the end of the file. A 6″ precision file will measure 8-1/2″ long from tip to end of tang, but it is called a 6″ file.

The coarser the file the more metal is removed. Files are graded as below:

• Cut 00 – Very coarse
• Cut 0 – Coarse
• Cut 1 – Coarse/Medium
• Cut 2 – Medium
• Cut 3 – Medium/Fine
• Cut 4 – Fine
