Diamond files and sheets are used for tasks where conventional files fail due to the hardness of the material being worked on.
Diamond files and sheets are also used for processing hardened steel. The working temperatures are so low that no chemical wear occurs. This allows the higher hardness of the diamond grain to be exploited for a longer tool life.
Diamond needle files can be used generally in tool making.
Features
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE Only apply light pressure to the file, especially when using on workpiece edges. Loaded diamond files can be cleaned in kerosene or anti-static plastic cleaner with a file brush. Alternatively, ultrasonic cleaning is also possible. Often, knocking the file against a hard object is sufficient. Avoid using grease.
