Accurate Shaping with the Tamiya 74058 Craft File Pro Flat

Hobbyists who want neat, repeatable shaping for plastic components will find the Tamiya 74058 Craft File Pro Flat useful. It is built to remove material cleanly so parts fit and paint smoothly.

Why the 16mm Width Matters

The 16mm flat area provides a predictable contact patch that helps avoid uneven edges. It works well on ribs, tabs, and trim lines where a steady hand is needed to get a uniform result.

Where to Use It in Your Builds

Use this file for final fettling of body panels, smoothing seam lines, and preparing mounting points. Its size makes it a good everyday tool for maintenance and touch ups on display and race cars alike.

Is this file suitable for light metal work?

It is primarily intended for plastic. You can use it on softer metals but expect slower cutting and increased wear compared with use on plastic.

What is the best technique for even results?

Apply steady, even strokes and avoid rocking the file. Support the workpiece so pressure is distributed across the file edge for a flat finish.

How often should I clean the file during a session?

Clean the cutting surface after a few minutes of continuous use or when you notice clogging. A small brush or file card works well to remove plastic dust.

Can I use this file for hobby repairs on glued joints?

Yes, it is good for trimming excess glue and tidying joints after adhesive cures, but take care around fragile detail so you do not remove too much material.
