RCS H File (08-40)

Experience maximum material removal efficiency with the RCS H File (Hedstrom Precision File). This file is characterized by its distinct, spiral-cut edges that resemble stacked cones, making it one of the most aggressive tools in the precision filing family. Unlike standard files that cut on the push and pull strokes, the H File is specifically designed to cut only on the withdrawal (pull) stroke.

This unique cutting action allows for rapid, controlled shaving and smoothing of walls and contours in channels, slots, and holes. It is an ideal tool for quickly enlarging or shaping openings in tough materials like hard plastics, epoxy, and soft metals, especially when precision is needed in tight, internal spaces. The RCS H File is a favorite among advanced modelers for its speed and effectiveness in finishing deep or confined areas.

Key Features

• Hedstrom Cutting Edge: Features a unique spiral-stack design that provides an extremely sharp, aggressive cut for fast material removal.

• Pull-Stroke Action: Engineered to cut only on the withdrawal stroke, offering precise control and minimizing the risk of debris jamming.

• Rapid Enlargement: Ideal for quickly and accurately widening existing holes, channels, or slots in models and electronics enclosures.

• Exceptional Reach: The slender, tapered design allows the file to reach deep into small or restricted openings where other tools cannot fit.

• High Durability: Constructed from quality tool steel to ensure the fine, sharp edges remain effective through heavy use on various modeling materials.
