• Mill File – commonly used to sharpen flat bladed tools and to keep saw teeth level.
• Half Round File – usually used for descaling pipes or shaping a rough surface. Can be used instead of a regular since they both have a flat face.
• Taper Saw File – has a triangular shape which allows you to sharpen the teeth of a saw.
• Round File – shaped like a pick, these files are perfect for creating more fine details in your project. They can also be used to create bigger holes or to polish your piece.

• Flat File – a multi-functional tool that can be used on a variety of projects and can be used like a hand file.
