About product

Gunze flat modeling file, single cut, smooth grade

A single cut means that the teeth run in one direction only, not crosswise. Such a file removes material more calmly, leaves a more continuous mark and bites into soft plastic less than a cross cut. The smooth grade designation then says at which stage of the work the tool is used: at the very end, when the shape is done and the surface is what is being dealt with.

Use

  • Leveling parting lines and sprue nubs on flat surfaces.
  • Finishing a surface after a coarser file, so that no scratches are left behind.
  • Fitting parts, where material has to come off a little at a time and the shape stays under control.
  • Preparing a surface for a surfacer and paint, so that no mark from the abrasive shows under the finish.

How it differs from the neighboring files in the range

The same range offers the same version in a coarse grade and also a half-round and a square profile. The coarse grade is for quickly taking a larger excess off and leaves a noticeable mark; the smooth one follows it and erases that mark. The half-round and square profiles then deal with the shape of the place, not the coarseness. The choice therefore rests on two independent axes: how much you want to remove and what shape you need to get into.

Who the file is for

For the modeler who already has a coarser abrasive and lacks a tool for the last stage before painting. It serves well on large flat surfaces, where any scratch from a coarse file gives itself away at once under a gloss finish.

Do not breathe in the dust from sanding plastic and work in a ventilated space. Clean the file after work, as clogged teeth stop cutting and start tearing the plastic.
