TARIST 8" Metal File Set - 3-Piece Carbon Steel (Flat, Half-Round, Round) | Hardened T12, Coated Teeth

This set brings workshop-grade tooth geometry and hardened T12 carbon steel construction to hobbyists, jewelers and tradespeople who need reliable, durable hand-filing tools. Each file is heat-treated to 62–66 HRC and coated for extended tooth life, delivering consistent material removal without frequent replacement. The trio—flat, half-round and round—covers common profiles for surface work, interior curves and hole enlargement, making this an economical, versatile addition to any toolbox.

How does this set perform on different materials?

These files were made for cross-material versatility: the deeply quenched teeth cut through soft and hard substrates while resisting premature wear. They work effectively on metal and wood and are also suitable for softer plastics, jewelry metals and ceramic edges when used with care.

• Carbon steel T12 body with high hardness for long-lasting sharpness
• Coated teeth to reduce sticking and improve filing smoothness
• Three profiles cover flat surfaces, concave contours and round holes
• Light touch and proper oiling recommended for delicate materials

What sizes and file shapes are included, and why those?

The set contains three 8-inch files: a flat file for planar work, a half-round file for transitioning between flat and curved surfaces, and a round (rat-tail) file for enlarging or smoothing holes. This selection addresses the most frequent hand-filing tasks without unnecessary extras.

• 8-inch length offers good reach and control for most bench tasks
• Flat file for deburring edges, truing faces and tapering
• Half-round for concave shaping and finishing inner contours
• Round file for internal radii, keyways and circular openings

How should I care for and use these files to get the longest life?

Proper handling and maintenance extend performance: avoid dropping the files to protect the quenched teeth, use light machine oil to preserve finish, and clear filings from teeth frequently. File with steady, even strokes and lift on the return to prevent dulling and clogging.

• Apply a light film of machine oil to prevent rust and maintain coating
• Clean teeth with a file card or brass brush to avoid clogging
• Do not use as pry bars or hammers—teeth are brittle if dropped
• Store in a dry place and avoid contact with other metal tools

What after-sales support comes with the TARIST files?
