Expo Tools 70240 Modelmakers Flexible File Set – 6 Pieces
The Expo Tools 70240 Modelmakers Flexible File Set combines four double-sided flexible files with two sanding blocks for shaping, smoothing and finishing model parts. A range of abrasive grades lets you progress from material removal to finer surface preparation, while the flexible files help you work around awkward areas.

Lower grit numbers remove material more readily; higher numbers help refine the surface. Start with the least aggressive grade that will do the job, then move to finer grades as needed. The 3000-grit surface provides the finest abrasive grade listed for this set.
How to Use
Support the model part securely and use light, controlled strokes. Check your progress often to avoid removing fine detail or changing the shape of an edge. Test on spare material first, especially before using the coarser grades. Work through finer abrasives to reduce the marks left by earlier stages. Follow the markings on the tools when choosing a grit.
