Category: Jewellery Making Tools

Metal files clog almost immediately on carving wax; these are cut for the job. The coarse, open teeth shave wax away in clean ribbons rather than loading up, which keeps the surface readable as you refine a model towards casting. Four head shapes — flat, tapered and pointed conical profiles among them — handle outside contours and inside curves alike, a different animal from the needle files you will reach for once the metal comes back.

The long, slender stainless steel bodies are knurled where you grip them, giving fine control over pressure. Tap the teeth clear as you work and the cut stays consistent from the first model to the hundredth.

  • Set of four wax files with distinct head shapes for varied contouring and finishing.
  • Long, slender stainless steel bodies feature knurled grips for improved control.
  • Coarse, open-cut teeth are designed to shave wax efficiently without loading up.
  • Includes flat, tapered, and pointed conical profiles for internal and external surfaces.
  • All items are UK-stocked for immediate availability.

Nicholas V. ★★★★★

These cut through the wax like butter, leaving those clean ribbons instead of the gummy mess I'm used to with metal files. The coarse teeth really do stay open, so I can actually see the surface detail as I'm shaping the model. My casting prep has gotten noticeably faster.

Penelope ★★★★★

Finally, a set of files that actually work on wax without clogging after two strokes. The open teeth carve clean ribbons instead of dust, making it way easier to see my markouts as I work.

Richard V. ★★★★★

These files are the first ones that haven't clogged up on my carving wax after a few passes. The open teeth leave a clean, readable surface so I can actually see my lines as I refine the model, and they've held their edge through a whole week of work.
