Vallorbe® Glardon® Regular Pillar Precision Files

A Regular Pillar file is a general purpose file used primarily for working on flat surfaces and is cut on two sides. Available in various widths, these files are adaptable for filing in slots, keyways, and splines. While parallel in width, Regular Pillar files are tapered in thickness to make perfectly flat filing possible. Length, unless otherwise stated, is length of cut and does not include tang.

With its precision files, Vallorbe® Glardon® has been offering the guarantee of high-quality, Swiss made products manufactured from a high-carbon steel especially designed for files, since 1899. These files are part of the Premium range of Glardon® products. They are particularly recommended for professionals who want to achieve an excellent quality of work. Our files are currently used in a number of areas, by precision engineers, mold makers and jewelers.

A precision file is characterized by:

• Its profile: we offer a broad selection of different profiles depending on your requirements: hand, pillar, round edge, equaling, crochet, warding, halfround, round, oval, three square, square, slotting, barrette, pippin, knife, screwhead, multifile and crossing, etc.
• Its length: this is measured in inches and does not include the tang. 

• Its cut: the cut of Glardon® precision files is designed by means of a scale of cuts ranging from 000 which is the coarsest, up to 8 which is the finest. Each of these cuts equates to a certain number of teeth per square centimeter.
