Files for Aircraft Sheet Metal Work

A variety of files will be needed for your project. A general purpose file set with coarse, smooth, flat, curved and round files will be handy for most pieces that you will need to cut or shape. A file card will be a useful addition in order to clean your files after use. The one unique file you will need is a Vixen file which is a very coarse file for de-burring long pieces of aluminum. Other than the Vixen, a general purpose set should do everything you need.
