Narex Milled Tooth File with Circular Teeth

Narex Milled-tooth File: Fast Shaping With a Smoother Finish

A traditional rasp removes timber quickly but leaves a rough, torn surface that takes ages to clean up. A conventional file leaves a finer surface, but it's slow going when you have real shaping to do. The Narex Milled-tooth File gives you both speed and finish. Its sharp, milled circular teeth remove material aggressively without tearing the fibres, so you shape faster and spend less time on clean-up.

Pick the length that suits your work and start shaping with precision and control.

Key Features

• Milled circular teeth: The curved, extremely sharp teeth slice through timber rather than tearing it. You get aggressive material removal while the surface stays clean and even.
• Faster than a file, smoother than a rasp: This file cuts faster than conventional files and leaves a smoother surface than traditional rasps. You need fewer tools and fewer steps between rough shaping and final sanding.
• Carbon steel blade hardened to 60 HRc: HRc is a scale that measures how hard steel is, and 60 HRc is well suited to holding a keen edge. The heat-treated carbon steel keeps its teeth sharp through long shaping sessions.
• Ergonomic hornbeam wood handle: Hornbeam is a dense, tough timber. The shaped handle is stained and waxed, so it feels comfortable in your hand and gives you excellent control on every stroke.
• Three blade sizes: Choose from 250mm, 300mm or 350mm lengths. Shorter blades suit smaller, detailed components, and longer blades cover broad surfaces and long curves faster.
• Made by Narex: Narex has decades of experience making quality woodworking hand tools, and this file is built to last.

• Carvers roughing out forms quickly before moving to finer tools.
• Spoon carvers and green woodworkers refining handles and outer curves.
• Boat builders and cabinetmakers fairing curves and easing edges.
• Hobbyists and professionals who want fast shaping without heavy tear-out.

A quick tip: secure your workpiece firmly in a vice so you can use both hands on the file. Let the teeth do the work on the push stroke with steady, even pressure, then lift slightly on the return to protect the cutting edges. Work at a slight angle across the grain to avoid digging in, and switch direction as you go to keep the surface even. A quick pass with a file card or stiff brush clears dust from the teeth and keeps the file cutting at its best.
