Vijl/rasp KS Tools 140.3051

The ks tools file/rasp 140.3051 is a compact precision shaping tool intended for detailed material removal and finishing work. At 145 mm in length and weighing approximately 10 g, this file/rasp provides a slim profile that is easy to manipulate in tight spaces and for fine-detail tasks. Constructed for regular use, it is suitable for shaping, deburring, and surface refinement on a range of common materials.

Advantages

This lightweight design improves control and reduces hand fatigue during repetitive operations. The tool’s compact length makes it convenient for access to confined areas where larger files cannot reach. Manufactured with attention to cutting pattern and hardness, it maintains effective material removal while offering consistent performance over time.

Suitable for

• Shaping and smoothing metal edges
• Deburring drilled holes and cut surfaces
• Refining wood and plastic contours
• Detailed finishing in model making and small repairs

Key specifications

• Overall length: 145 mm
• Net weight: approximately 10 g
• Type: hand file/rasp for manual use
• Intended use: shaping, smoothing, deburring, and finishing
• Design: slim profile for access to confined spaces

How to use

Hold the file/rasp by its body or fitted handle and apply steady, even strokes along the workpiece in the desired direction of material removal. Use moderate pressure to avoid over-cutting and to maintain control; lighter strokes are recommended when working on delicate surfaces. Keep the filing motion consistent and remove small amounts of material at a time, checking progress frequently to achieve the required shape or finish.

Recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and gloves when filing. Clean the file teeth regularly with a brush to maintain cutting efficiency. Store the tool in a dry place and avoid excessive force that could deform the rasp or damage the workpiece.
