A metal file is a handy tool for several DIY
applications and other jobs, not to mention that
they extend other tools' lifetime. There is a
metal file available for every application and
project. Although, among multiple types of metal
files, it is quite challenging to pick the right
one when needed. There are numerous options
available for every kind of file.

WHAT ARE DIFFERENT TYPES OF METAL FILES?
Here's a list of all the Metal Files essential
for metal applications

• Crossing File
• Flat File
• Barrette File
• Half File
• Needle Files

Crossing File
A crossing file looks almost sort of a half file.
However, it features a curved radius on all
sides. It is a relatively higher dome on the one
side, helping you to form a varied range of
curved shapes and cut-outs. All sides of the
crossing file are tapered.
Flat File
Flat File is essential for beginners. A file has
(you've guessed it) a flat surface and is used to
file larger, flat areas of metal, draw up edges,
and figure on the surface curve of a hoop.

Barrette File
This sort of metalworking file only has cutting
teeth on one flat side. It's a superb tool to
work any metal. Because the one side is tapered
and smooth, it means you do not run the danger of
undoing your filing work by breaking the metal.
Half File
A Half File features one flat side and one
rounded side. The rounded side is useful when it
involves shaping and filing the within of a hoop
shank.

Needle Files
When it involves the varied kinds of metal files
available, there are a couple of 6-inch Hand
files that you're going to want to require an
edge in as a beginner undoubtedly. But as your
metalwork and filing skills quickly progress,
you'll be wanting to accentuate your work's
finishing element.
