Controlled Finishing with the Tamiya 74058 Craft File Pro Flat

Model makers who value accurate hand finishing will appreciate the Tamiya 74058 Craft File Pro Flat for plastic work. It is intended to help you produce consistent edges and tidy up moulded parts before further work.

What the 16mm Width Gives You

The 16mm flat provides a steady contact area that is useful on trims, seams, and small flat panels. It helps distribute pressure to reduce the chance of creating low spots or scratches.

Recommended Use Cases

Use this file for removing flash, refining part joins, and preparing surfaces for glue or paint. It is a reliable everyday tool for both display model projects and routine maintenance.

It works best on standard model plastics. Very hard engineering plastics may take longer to file and could shorten the tool life compared with normal hobby plastics.
Use light, even strokes and finish with fine abrasive paper to remove any slight tool marks. Practice steady motion to keep edges uniform.
Replace the file when it no longer cuts cleanly or when clogging cannot be cleared by brushing. A worn file will slow work and risk uneven surfaces.
Yes, use the file for initial shaping then progress to finer abrasives and polishing steps as required to reach the final surface quality.
If filing painted parts, clean the file afterward to remove paint particles. A brush will usually do; avoid solvents that might harm the file backing.
