Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This file set requires no assembly or setup. Simply remove the files from their packaging and the storage bag, and they are ready for immediate use.
Compatibility:
- Carbon Steel Files: Best suited for shaping and smoothing softer materials such as wood, plastic, aluminum, brass, and mild steel. Avoid using on hardened steel or very abrasive materials.
- Diamond Files: Compatible with a wide range of materials including hardened steel, glass, ceramics, stone, carbide, and other hard metals. They can also be used on softer materials for a finer finish.
Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, clean the files to remove debris. For carbon steel files, use a stiff brush or wire brush. For diamond files, a brush or even a gentle scrub with water and mild soap can be effective. Avoid harsh solvents.
- Storage: Store the files in the provided storage bag in a dry environment to prevent rust on the carbon steel files and damage to the diamond grit.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the files for wear or damage. Discontinue use if teeth are significantly worn down or if the diamond coating is compromised.
