Perfect Finishing Solution

After i put it to the test, I found this to be an excellent finishing tool for smoothing rough edges and surfaces. With its durable and high-quality material, it truly stands out among other finishing products. However, it may require some practice to get the most precise results .Overall I highly recommend this finishing product!

Pros
  • Precise and accurate cutting
Cons
  • Coarse texture may leave behind rough edges on softer materials

Not made in USA for abrasives and surface treatments

This type of file is difficult to find locally, most stores only carry the most common shapes. It works well and avoids the sharp corners of typical files. I was kind of expecting the Symonds file to be made in the US, but I guess that's not the case anymore.

Pros
  • Industrial & Scientific
Cons
  • No Automatic
