SUB-TOPIC 1: CARE OF FILES

  1. A file cuts the metal during the forward stroke; therefore pressure on the file should be released during the return stroke.
  2. A new file should be used for soft metals such as brass, zinc, or copper. It should not be used for filing welded joints or surface of casting.
  • A file must not be used without a handle because it is dangerous. Make sure the handle is firmly secured.
  1. The file should be cleaned regularly with a wire brush or file card to remove iron filing embedded in the teeth of the file and enable the file to cut better.
