Detail Filing with Tamiya 74059

Achieving crisp, clean edges on plastic components is key for quality model builds. The Tamiya 74059 Craft File Pro Flat 10mm supplies a slim flat face to refine joins, remove excess material and tidy surface imperfections.

Wave-Tooth Pattern and 10mm Blade

The 10mm working width combines with a wave tooth pattern to remove plastic efficiently while leaving a smooth finish. Chip breaker grooves help prevent packing, so the file stays effective through multiple passes.

Comfortable Coated Handle

The handle on the Tamiya 74059 features a coating that improves grip and reduces hand fatigue during careful finishing work. This aids precise control when working on small model parts and tight areas.

Do Not Use on Metal

Important: this file is intended only for plastic materials. Using it on metal will damage the teeth and reduce the tool's effectiveness. Reserve it for model plastics to prolong its life.

Yes, the narrow 10mm flat is suited to scale detailing and trimming small joins, offering controlled material removal for fine work.
Use light, even strokes and check progress frequently. Let the file do the work rather than forcing it, which helps avoid gouging or uneven surfaces.
A small brush or tapping the file clears debris. The chip breaker grooves reduce clogging, but routine cleaning maintains consistent cutting.
File before final gluing or painting to ensure clean mating surfaces. Avoid heavy filing over fully cured joints to prevent weakening the bond.
