Explanation:

  • The filling is a method for removing excess material from a work-piece by using a file that acts as a cutting tool.
  • File grades are determined by the spacing of the teeth.
  • The following are the two commonly used methods of filing:
  1. Cross filing
  2. Draw filing

Cross filing

  • This method is used for the efficient removal of the maximum amount of metal in the shortest possible time.
  • Also called straightforward filing, this technique involves pushing the file across the edge of the material.
  • It can be used for finishing, shaping, or sharpening.
  • This is the most commonly used filing technique.
  • It may be noted that the file must remain horizontal throughout the stroke with pressure only applied on the forward motion.

Draw filing

  • This method is used to remove file marks and for finishing operations.
  • Here, the file is griped as close to the work as possible between two hands.
  • In this method, a fine cut file with a flat face should be used.
