Car body files
Precise work on surfaces with PFERD car body files.
Car body files from PFERD aren’t just used for work on car bodies. They are ideal for any surface work on sheet metal, non-ferrous metals and plastics requiring a particularly smooth and scratch-free finish.
The surfaces can be painted immediately after filing. No subsequent polishing is necessary, as there are no scratches.
Materials
- Aluminium
- Steels up to 1,200 N/mm²
Ideal tooth shape
The teeth are milled from solid material, as distinct from the usual cutting process. The 10x enlargement shows clearly that each individual tooth is designed to ensure that the chip rolls up in front of the rounded tooth face and can be contained in the large flute.
Advantages
- Special finishing treatment for razor-sharp tooth edges.
- Outstanding stock removal rate.
Convex shape prevents scratches.
The convex shape means that the cutting area is not flat, but higher in the middle than around the file edges. The height difference is about 0.4 mm.
This special cross-section shape prevents the edges of the file from coming into contact with the workpiece during processing, thus preventing scratches.
