About product

Five Vallejo diamond files

A diamond file differs from an ordinary needle file in principle: it has no cut teeth but abrasive grains applied to the body of the tool. Thanks to that it can cope even with materials on which a steel file slides or quickly goes blunt — with resin, hard putties, photo-etched parts, metal and the flash left by cutting. This set contains five such files.

When to reach for diamond

On soft polystyrene a diamond file has no advantage; it rather clogs quickly. It pays off where an ordinary file fails: leveling a casting block on a resin part, cleaning up an edge after nipping photo-etched metal, adjusting a hole in a metal part, removing the remains of cyanoacrylate glue that has hardened like glass. It also leaves a finer mark, so less work with abrasive paper is left afterwards.

Technique and service life

  • Work with water. Moistening carries the abrasive dust away, reduces clogging and, with resin, radically limits the amount of airborne dust.
  • Press only lightly. The grain does the cutting, not force — pressure breaks the grains out and the file irreversibly loses its performance.
  • Do not use the tool as a lever or for coarse removal of material; for a large amount of material use a cutter or a coarse file and only finish with the diamond.
  • Rinse the tool after work and let it dry thoroughly; remains of dust with moisture clog the abrasive layer.
  • Do not inhale dust from resin or putty; work with ventilation and use respiratory protection.

Who will appreciate diamond files

Modelers who build resin sets and multimedia kits, work with photo-etched parts or add metal features to models. They also serve in removing dried glue and putty, where an ordinary file would only slide.

Tools for adult users. Sanding creates fine dust — work wet or with sufficient ventilation and protect your airways.

FAQ

They have no cut teeth but abrasive diamond grains. They can therefore handle hard materials on which a steel file slides or goes blunt, and they leave a finer mark.

You can, but they have no advantage there and clog quickly with the soft material. For an ordinary kit reach for a steel file instead.

Water carries the abrasive dust away, so the tool stays clear, and at the same time it radically reduces the amount of airborne dust, which matters above all with resin.

An overview of the profiles and the grit is given on the packaging of the set.
