Versatile Shaping & Smoothing: The Marksman Half Round File
The Marksman Half Round File is a specialist abrasive tool designed for high-accuracy metalwork and woodworking. At ECO Heat Shop, we prioritise high-utility hardware that supports a sustainable and “fix-first” approach to home maintenance. Whether you are smoothing out a rough cut on a copper pipe or shaping a custom timber joint, this half-round profile eliminates the need for multiple specialized files, making it a space-saving and efficient workshop staple.
Engineered for durability, the high-carbon steel construction is heat-treated to ensure maximum surface hardness. This allows the file to bite into tough materials without the teeth dulling prematurely. Its 8-inch (200mm) length provides the ideal leverage for both rapid stock removal and delicate, final-touch filing.
Key Features & Professional Benefits
- Two Tools in One: The flat face is ideal for standard surface smoothing, while the tapered half-round back allows you to access the interior of pipes and rounded cut-outs.
- Tapered Tip: The file narrows towards the point, allowing for precision work in tight gaps and smaller radii.
- Hard-Wearing Second-Cut: Designed as a “second-cut” file, it sits perfectly between a coarse bastard file and a smooth finishing file, making it versatile enough for 90% of household and trade tasks.
- Sustainable Workshop Essential: A high-quality hand tool that requires no power and can be cleaned and maintained for decades of service.
- Universal Tang: Features a sturdy pointed tang, ready to be fitted into your preferred ergonomic or traditional wooden handle for a customisable grip.

Expert Tip: To keep your file in peak condition, always file on the forward stroke only and lift the file slightly on the return. Applying pressure on the backward stroke can roll over the teeth and dull the file prematurely. For best results on metal, use a “file card” (a wire brush for files) regularly to remove pinned-in metal shavings from the teeth.
