View · Overview

Product overview

The DSPIAE CFB-S03 combines three approaches in one irregular set: a necked paddle, a taper and a straight 10 mm bar. The full-width piece gives conventional contact while the other profiles narrow the working face for more selective access. Abrasive paper is obtained separately; place each blade on the paper, trace around it and cut the self-adhesive covering to shape.

  • CFB-07 provides a waisted paddle joined to a square neck.
  • CFB-08 supplies the tapered working profile within the set.
  • CFB-09 remains a plain straight bar across its complete length.
  • Paper grades can be marked on the blade with the included identification labels.

Notes · Q & A

What's the difference between a needle file and a sanding stick?

Needle files are steel, cut faster and hold their shape for tight spots and metal. Sanding sticks are foam or paper-backed abrasive, kinder to plastic and better for smoothing broad, flat surfaces without gouging.

Which grit should I start with on mould lines?

For plastic, start around 400 grit to knock the line back, then refine with 600–800. Coarser than 400 leaves scratches you then have to chase out, so only go lower for resin flash or heavy work.

Should I file wet or dry?

Wet sanding with a drop of water reduces dust and clogging and gives a finer finish, which matters on resin where the dust is best not inhaled. Dry filing is fine for quick metal work and steel needle files.

How do I stop a file clogging with plastic or resin?

Brush it out with a stiff brass brush along the cut direction. For sanding sticks, tap them clean often. Clogged abrasive stops cutting and starts burnishing, which just polishes the high spots rather than removing them.
