Saw Files

Vallorbe files as used at the factory for hand sharpening the saw teeth. All our files are high quality files made in Switzerland and are tried and tested by production for their recommendations on what gives a good result.

The Large Flat File – 22mm wide x 4.5mm thick is ideal for sharpening the gullets of the one man crosscut saw (great American tooth pattern). It can also be used for the Champion Tooth Crosscut Saw too.

The large file is for larger toothed saws 4 teeth per inch and large i.e. Rip Saws, One and Two Man Cross Cut Saws (still recommended for sharpening the tooth part of the one man crosscut saw as well as the flat file for the gullets and also the Champion Tooth version).

The medium file is for Handsaw (7tpi) and large Tenon Saws. 5 1/2 teeth per inch to 10 teeth per inch – 5 1/2 approx.

The medium precision file is as production use on tenon saws (13-15tpi approx.) and has a much better precision edge to the file.

The Precision File is used for Dovetail Saws – 20 teeth per inch.

Precision files are expensive due to the fine edges on these.

A Beech handle is also available. Please note, handles supplied are a beech file handle (not finished in the colour shown as the handle shown is for representation only).
