As advertised, the product was received promptly and the correct part number was provided by This seller did what she or he was supposed to do. Unfortunately the parts This part number has been verified to be compatible with the main file on two different websites It looks like a repro of the file 295), but the replacement channel is one eighth inch wider than the main channel. Is this an unauthorized copy? Would I be able to get a refund from it if I sent it back? For $7, you seem to have gone through quite a bit of trouble. Although I find it usable, I constantly have to reload it As I file wood, I place the blade of this refill on the main tool.
A tool that can be used for a variety of purposes. Shaving is evenly done and material is easily removed. In this case, I am carving clay forms with this blade. Normally, when I use clay it's in a state called leather hard (similar to Using the surform, I am able to create curved carvings to my work without any problem. With a flat surform blade, I can't get an even curve, but with this half round blade, I get a perfect curve. I am able to remove the "teeth" marks from the blade with sandpaper or even a damp sponge, but the trail leaves from the blade design. Any wood carving would be a good candidate for sandpaper to clean up and refine. The WD-40 is easy to clean with the guidance of a brush and a little spray Keeping 40 away from rust is a good idea. As the clay material I am working with is removed without a lot of force, I don't use a handle for it. Using a handle might make sense if I were working with wood or plaster. As for shorter pieces of blades, I've been told (but haven't tried myself) these can be snapped into shorter segments, and any sharp edges can be broken off with Although smaller pieces might make it more convenient to use, I have not broken my blade into smaller pieces because I can work with the full length of the blade. In just two days with Prime, Amazon got this to me in just two days despite not having the product in any of my local home tool stores.
The product really worked well, but I had to order 3 of them at the same time because I know how fragile An Amazon soft package was broken when I got it, so one of the pieces were left over. I cannot use one of the other two because the spot welds on the ends are crooked and one of them will break off if I I have 1 that has been working for me for at least a week, so I'm not entirely out of luck.
My sole purpose in buying this was to repair cars. Here's a tip I learned from an old body man a long time These curved blades are ideal for setting up Bondo and sizing it while it is not yet hardened, but set up. This is exactly how it appears in the picture, except that I don't use a handle, just the blade. You should hold it at both ends with a finger and dragged the blade down the work with a downward movement. Ideally, tilt the blade up off the work and lift one edge above the cutting surface. Countless Bondo pieces just slough off like cheese in a grater as it passes through.
Test is the quickest way I am aware of for obtaining the approximate contour of an object. pneumatic air files provide the same benefit for the general public now as well as for professional body shops.
They barely fit the tool and are twisted making it very difficult if not impossible to mount the blade on the tool due to their short length. The way these were made is poor.
I could not find this locally, but to my rescue came Amazon.
This saved me a great deal of time and effort. I was able to slice through the putty with ease. I don't have to deal with the mess or dust of power sanding. The flat, as well as the curved blades, were purchased.
A broken item was sent, but the seller refunded my money. I do find it to be a perfect fit for my needs, however. Working with clay is a breeze with these.
