About product

Circular chamfered trimming file, the U-STAR file for circular edges

A tool from the U-STAR range intended, according to its name, for chamfering the edges of circular shapes. In practice it is used to rework the mouths of tubular parts and the rims of holes, that is the places where injection-molded plastic looks unnaturally thick and where simply sanding the surface cannot improve anything.

Why the thickness of the wall matters

A hole that has been drilled or molded always has a sharp edge and a wall whose thickness matches the strength of the part rather than the scale of the original. On the mouth of an exhaust, a barrel or a radiator intake it is one of the most conspicuous flaws, and the eye notices it sooner than a missing detail. Chamfering the edge from the inside visually thins the wall without having to drill the part out to a larger diameter, and the hole at once looks like a hole and not like a dimple. The same procedure is used on circular vents, fuel tank caps and the stubs under wheels.

How to proceed

Hold the tool at a right angle to the axis of the hole and turn it in one direction, not back and forth, because one-way movement gives a more even edge. Keep the pressure light and check as you go, because a chamfer can only be added, not taken back. On thin-walled parts it is better to strengthen the hole in advance by supporting it from the inside, otherwise it may crack. After chamfering, smooth the burrs away with a fine abrasive and rinse or blow the hole out so that no swarf is left in it to show up later under the paint.

Who the tool is for

  • Aircraft modelers who rework the mouths of exhausts, barrels and intakes
  • Builders of vehicles with circular vents, caps and stubs
  • Anyone who drills holes out and wants an edge without burrs
  • A companion to sanding pads and scribers, which cannot handle a circular edge

FAQ

The range of diameters is not given in the name; check it on the packaging.

It will not. A drill makes or enlarges a hole, while this tool reworks its edge. In practice they are used one after the other, first the drill, then the chamfer.

With resin it is common practice, just work with respiratory protection. Check the suitability for metal on the packaging.

Do not press; rather add more turns. On thin-walled tubes it helps to support the part from the inside or to strengthen it with a drop of cyanoacrylate glue and sand it down after the work.
