Diamond escapement file DF 3617

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 escapement files are used on very small shapes in tool making and precision mechanics. They have a forged shank which allows use without an additional handle.
