The Iwasaki Flat Extra Fine File delivers the ultimate in surface refinement, combining the material removal capabilities of a float with near-finish surface quality that rivals fine sandpaper. This precision Japanese file features ultra-fine curved teeth with mini-chipbreaker faces on both sides, creating microscopic shavings while leaving surfaces so smooth they often require no additional finishing.

Key Features:

  • Extra fine cut for superior surface finish
  • Teeth on both flat sides for maximum efficiency
  • Curved teeth with mini-chipbreaker design
  • Creates ultra-fine shavings, not dust
  • Safe edges protect adjacent surfaces
  • Textured rubber grip handle
  • Narrow 3/8" width for detailed work
  • Works on wood, bamboo, OSB, MDF, plastics, and resins
  • Made in Japan

Specifications:

  • Overall length: 8 inches
  • Cutting length: 4 inches
  • Width: 3/8 inch
  • Thickness: 1/8 inch
  • Cut type: Extra fine
  • Tooth configuration: Both sides
  • Edge type: Safe (no teeth)
  • Handle: Cushioned rubber grip

Ideal for:

  • Fine furniture finishers
  • Musical instrument makers
  • Precision joint fitters
  • Marquetry and inlay specialists
  • Pattern makers requiring smooth surfaces
  • Model makers
  • Detail carvers
  • Restoration specialists

Benefits:

  • Near-finish surface quality reduces sanding
  • Double-sided cutting maximizes tool life
  • Narrow width excels in detailed areas
  • Chip ejection prevents clogging
  • Safe edges enable precise corner work
  • Thin profile flexes for gentle curves
  • Sharp teeth maintain cutting efficiency
  • Comfortable grip ensures precise control

Ultimate Surface Refinement: The extra fine tooth configuration transforms this file into a finishing tool that bridges the gap between shaping and sanding. Each tiny tooth acts like a microscopic plane, lifting ultra-fine shavings so small they appear almost like coarse sawdust, yet the cutting action is fundamentally different—shearing rather than abrading. This produces surfaces with a clarity and smoothness that typically requires progressing through multiple grits of sandpaper. The narrow 3/8-inch width and thin 1/8-inch profile make this file particularly valuable for detail work—refining joints to perfection, smoothing intricate carvings, or achieving glass-smooth surfaces on visible edges. With teeth on both sides and safe edges all around, you can work confidently in tight spaces and up to adjacent surfaces without fear of damage.

Precision Tool for Demanding Work: The 8-inch overall length with 4-inch cutting surface provides the control necessary for delicate finishing work, while the cushioned rubber grip ensures comfort during the light, precise strokes that extra fine work demands. The file's ability to work effectively on diverse materials—from traditional hardwoods to modern composites and plastics—makes it invaluable for contemporary makers who combine materials. The mini-chipbreaker design maintains cutting efficiency even in difficult woods that would quickly clog conventional files, while the sharp, chemically etched teeth retain their precision far longer than standard files. Whether you're bringing a dovetail joint to perfect fit, refining the surface of a guitar neck, or achieving the mirror-smooth finish required for fine marquetry, this extra fine file delivers the exceptional surface quality that distinguishes masterful work from merely good craftsmanship.
