Procat Diamond File Set 150 mm 5-pc

The Procat diamond file set includes five differently shaped diamond files that are perfect for precise finishing and shaping. The files are designed to withstand heavy use, and their diamond coating allows for effective filing on hard materials like hardened steel, ceramics, glass, and hard wood.
The set includes a rectangular, round, triangular, square, and needle-shaped file. This variety of shapes makes the set especially suitable for precision work, like finishing grooves and small holes, rounding sharp edges, and shaping hard-to-reach spots.
The files have ergonomic plastic handles that give you a firm and comfy grip. This improves comfort and safety, especially during long sessions. The files come in a compact package that protects them and makes storage and transport a breeze.
This product is great for metalworking, woodworking, jewelry, and model making.

Uses:

Metalworking and finishing: These files are awesome for finishing hard metals like hardened steel. The diamond surface ensures even sanding and lets you shape small details precisely, like when filing machined parts.

Shaping wood and plastic surfaces: The files work great on wood and plastic too, especially when you need precise and controlled shaping. Perfect for fine-tuning wooden joints or finishing details on scale models.

Jewelry and precious metals: Thanks to the small size, the set is ideal for working on jewelry and precious metals. The diamond coating provides enough hardness for sanding them, and the different shapes make setting stones and finishing frames easier.

Ceramics and glass work: Diamond files are suitable for shaping and repairing glass and ceramics. The round and triangular ones are especially handy in small grooves and corners.

Precision mechanics and electronics: These precision files are good for fine adjustments on components and casings in electronics and mechanical structures where you need neat finishing in tight spaces.

Procat Diamond File Set instructions:
Before using, make sure the workpiece is securely clamped and cleaned of debris. Pick the right file shape based on the spot you're working on and what you need:

Rectangular file is good for flat surfaces, straightening and leveling edges.

Round file works great for finishing round holes and curved shapes.

Triangular file lets you work in sharp corners, like inside grooves.

Square file is suitable for shaping rectangular grooves and slots.

Needle-shaped file handles asymmetrical or curved spots.

Always file with a one-way, light stroke – don't use back-and-forth motion, as it wears the coating and can damage the surface.
Keep the file clean during work – use a small brass brush or compressed air so the abrasive surface doesn't clog. To extend the files' life, avoid heavy pressure, especially on hard materials.
After use, clean the files and store them in the original package in a dry, dust-free place. If you use them for wet sanding, dry them thoroughly afterward to prevent corrosion.
It's recommended to wear protective gloves and safety glasses, especially when working with metal, glass, and other hard materials.

How to choose the right diamond file set:
Choosing a diamond file set depends mainly on the application, the material you're working, and the precision needed. Here are the key selection criteria:

Number and variety of file shapesPick a set with different shapes: flat, round, triangle, square, and needle. This lets you handle corners, grooves, curves, and holes without switching tools.

Quality and grit of the diamond coatingFine grit allows precise finishing, while coarser is for quick material removal. Most general-purpose sets have medium grit that works for all sorts of tasks.

File size and lengthSmall files (like 140 mm) are perfect for precision work, while longer ones give better reach and leverage. Compact files are easier to control and carry.

Handle ergonomics and safetyA good grip is key for long sessions or precise tasks. An ergonomic, non-slip handle reduces strain and boosts safety.

Packaging and storage solutionBlister or case packaging protects the files from damage and keeps them organized. Small, tidy packages are great for on-the-go work.

Work environment and materialsMake sure the set's files suit your material: like hard metal, hardened steel, glass, ceramics, or hard wood. Diamond files are versatile, but some sets on the market are optimized for specific materials.

Usage frequency and durabilityFor professional use, durability and reusability are big factors. Also check if you can clean or maintain the files after they clog.
