The Iwasaki Flat Tapered File Extra Fine transforms intricate detail work through its dramatic taper from 3/4 inch to 3/16 inch combined with revolutionary chemically etched teeth that deliver exceptional surface quality. This precision Japanese file features a diagonal groove pattern with built-in chip breakers, creating plane-like cutting action that removes material efficiently while leaving surfaces remarkably smooth.

Key Features:

  • Dramatic taper from 3/4" to 3/16" width
  • Extra fine tooth configuration
  • Milled and chemically etched teeth
  • Diagonal groove pattern
  • Built-in chip breakers prevent clogging
  • Safe edges protect adjacent surfaces
  • 8-inch cutting length for extended reach
  • Works on all wood types and plastics
  • Made in Japan

Specifications:

  • Overall length: 9½ inches
  • Cutting length: 8 inches
  • Width: 3/4 inch to 3/16 inch taper
  • Profile: Flat
  • Cut type: Extra fine
  • Edge type: Safe (no teeth on edges)
  • Cutting action: Pull or push

Ideal for:

  • Fine furniture makers
  • Detail carvers and sculptors
  • Inlay and marquetry specialists
  • Musical instrument makers
  • Joint fitting experts
  • Model makers
  • Precision woodworkers
  • Restoration specialists

Benefits:

  • Progressive taper handles varying scale work
  • Extra fine teeth create near-finish surfaces
  • Chip breakers maintain cutting efficiency
  • Safe edges enable precise corner work
  • Extended cutting length increases productivity
  • Minimal resistance during cutting
  • Reduces or eliminates sanding requirements
  • Exceptional control in tight spaces

Precision Through Progressive Taper: The dramatic taper from 3/4 inch down to 3/16 inch makes this file exceptionally versatile for progressive refinement work. Start with the wider section for initial shaping and surface preparation, then transition to the narrower portions for increasingly fine detail—all without changing tools. The extra fine tooth configuration removes material at a controlled rate perfect for final surface refinement, creating a finish quality that often eliminates sanding entirely. The 8-inch cutting length provides exceptional reach for long joints, extended edges, or deep recesses, while the taper ensures you always have the right width for the specific area you're addressing. This combination proves invaluable when fitting tapered joints, refining dovetail sockets, or creating the precise angles required in complex joinery.

Chemical Precision for Demanding Work: The milled and chemically etched teeth with diagonal groove pattern represent the pinnacle of Japanese file technology. Each tooth acts as a microscopic plane with its own chip breaker, lifting ultra-fine shavings that eject cleanly rather than clogging the cutting surface. This maintains consistent cutting efficiency even in difficult woods that would quickly render conventional files useless. The safe edges allow you to work confidently up to perpendicular surfaces, into corners, or against finished areas without fear of damage—essential when fine-tuning visible joints or adjusting critical fits. Whether you're bringing a tapered mortise to perfect fit, refining the delicate edges of marquetry work, or achieving the glass-smooth surfaces required for fine furniture, this extra fine tapered file delivers the precision and control that distinguish exceptional craftsmanship.
