Rotary File

Rotary files, also known as rotary burrs, are cutting tools used in machine tools for metalworking. They are part of the supply class "Cutting Tools For Machine Tools" in the supply group "Metalworking Machinery."

Rotary files are typically made of high-speed steel (HSS) or carbide and are used for shaping, deburring, and finishing various materials, including metal, wood, plastic, and composites. They are commonly used in industries such as automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing.

These files have a cylindrical or conical shape with multiple cutting edges, which are usually arranged in a spiral pattern. They are designed to be mounted on a rotary tool, such as a die grinder or a rotary drill, and are used by rotating the tool at high speeds while applying pressure to the workpiece.

Rotary files come in various shapes and sizes, including cylindrical, ball-shaped, tree-shaped, and conical. Each shape is suitable for different applications and allows for precise material removal and shaping.

When using rotary files, it is important to wear appropriate personal protective equipment, such as safety glasses and gloves, to protect against flying debris and to ensure safe operation.

Overall, rotary files are versatile cutting tools that are essential for metalworking and other industries, allowing for efficient material removal and shaping tasks.
