Wataoka Wood Pro 90mm Flat File is a Japanese-made woodworking file designed for shaping, smoothing and refining a wide range of materials. Featuring a flat profile and medium cut, it offers an effective balance between material removal and surface finish, making it a versatile choice for both general shaping and preparation work. With a 90mm working length, 200mm overall length and 15mm width, it provides excellent control, particularly when working on smaller components and detailed projects.
The specially designed tooth pattern provides excellent bite whilst helping to minimise clogging during use. Designed to work efficiently with light pressure, the file cuts cleanly and consistently, making it well suited to shaping and refining surfaces before moving on to finer abrasives or files. For best results, use light pressure and maintain contact with the workpiece on the return stroke to help reduce the accumulation of cutting dust on the file.
This version features a 90mm flat file profile. Suitable materials include wood, bamboo, plaster and synthetic resins. The flat shape makes it particularly useful for levelling, smoothing and refining flat or gently curved surfaces, whilst offering good control and a predictable cutting action. Its compact dimensions make it especially useful for detail work and areas where larger files can be difficult to manoeuvre.
