Used Filing Machines

Filing machines are machine tools used to manually machine workpieces with files. Filing machines are usually used in metalworking to produce workpieces such as gears, crankshafts, camshafts and other precision parts. Filing machines usually consist of a table top, on which the workpiece is fixed, and a tool consisting of one or more files. The workpiece is manually moved through the file to remove the material and achieve the desired end product. There are different types of files suitable for different materials and applications, such as round files, flat files, triangular files and square files. Filing machines require skill and experience to operate properly and are generally slower than automated machines. However, they are still used in some areas, especially for prototyping and small-volume part production.
