Micro-Mesh Flexifiles<\/h2>\n

The essential tool for every workshop, tool room or home, Micro-Mesh Flexifiles are ideal for hand finishing to\u00a0smooth, deburr and polish small areas.<\/p>\n

Perfect for jewellery, wax carving, lapidary, woodworking, plastic polishing, mould tool polishing, home polishing and model making.<\/p>\n

Micro-Mesh Flexifiles are made with laminated foam and a sturdy styrene core. The abrasive crystals recede, when applying pressure while rotating slightly, and evenly across the surface. This process results in very fine and uniform scratch patterns.<\/p>\n

The files are washable with a little soapy water.<\/p>\n

For larger areas and use with a machine, MICRO-MESH\u00ae sheets<\/a> would be a better selection. If you’re undecided we also do a Micromesh Starter Kit<\/a><\/p>\n

For Engineers<\/h2>\n

For engineers we can highly recommend the MX Flexifiles. Due to it’s faster cutting action, they are well suited to surgical instruments, engine components, mould and dies, knives etc.<\/p>\n

Regular flexifiles, however, are very effective for softer metals such as aluminium, brass etc. because they often require a very fine finish.<\/p>\n

Flexifiles are very strong and cope well with edge-work as well as being flexible enough to bend to fit contours. The file itself is thin enough not to inhibit movement and is a really handy size for working on intricate mould tools and parts. The material itself is strong and will withstand working on sharp edges and hard metals.<\/p>\n

For Jewellers<\/h2>\n

For Jewellers there are two types of flexifile we would recommend you start with. The 2-way 100\/150 for preparing castings, smoothing file marks, shaping etc. Following this, we would recommend a 4-way file which you can then go through the grades up to a very high finish which can then be easily polished leaving a perfect finish.<\/p>\n

All MX and Regular files are suitable for jewellery metals, the regular tend to be finer and are the most popular.<\/p>\n

Can be used with water on resin and polymer clays. Gentle enough for working on metal clays.<\/p>\n
