Engineers Files
Indian Tool Manufacturers (ITM) - A Division of Birla Precision Technologies Ltd.,belonging to the Yash Birla Group & Your Partners in Productivity Since 1937. now introduces Dagger Brand Files after carrying out intensive research and development work.
Dagger Brand Files are made from the finest file steel material on State-of-the-Art Production Line. Files teeth are cut with unique, automised, hydro-pneumatically-controlled cutting machines forming equally spaced teeth and uniform depth of cut to ensure consistent cutting quality and desired surface finish. Uniform, well-spherodized steel structure and required carbon rich surface produces uniform hard tooth for longer life.
The shape and size of the work piece, the material it is made of and the desired surface finish will have to be considered for selecting the right file.
