FRIEDR. DICK GMBH SCREW SLOT FILES
For gunsmiths who demand clean, professional screw work, the FRIEDR. DICK GMBH Screw Slot Files are purpose-built for cutting, restoring, and refining firearm screw slots. These specialty files are available in three distinct styles, each designed to perform a specific task in screw-slot fitting and restoration. Whether you're repairing damaged screws on a vintage firearm or creating perfectly proportioned slots for a custom build, these files provide the control and precision needed for high-quality results.
The line includes Screw Joint Files, Screw Equaling Files, and Screw File Pairs. Joint files cut only on their edges, allowing slots to be deepened without increasing width. Equaling files are designed to square the bottom of the slot and true the sidewalls, creating a crisp, uniform appearance. File pairs provide one matching Joint and Equaling file in the same size, giving gunsmiths the tools needed for both cutting and finishing operations.
Manufactured from premium steel and measuring 5-5/8" (14.3 cm) in length, these precision files are available in a variety of thicknesses to accommodate the most common firearm screw dimensions. Their specialized design makes them a valuable addition to any professional or enthusiast gunsmithing toolkit.
