Glass file grit 10000 Border Model BD0006-3

The Border Model BD0006-3 glass file is an exceptional modeling tool that stands out with its innovative design and high-quality craftsmanship. Made from a single piece of reinforced tempered glass, this file offers extraordinary precision and durability, which are essential when working on plastic models and dioramas.

Product features:

• Material: Reinforced tempered glass
• Length: 135 mm
• Width: approximately 15 mm
• Grit: 10000
• Shape: Irregular, with a double-sided grinding pattern
• Case: Transparent plastic

Advantages:

1. Precise processing: With a grit of 10000, the file allows for gentle and accurate sanding, which is crucial when working with model details.
2. High efficiency: The specially designed abrasive surface minimizes clogging with shavings, increasing sanding efficiency.
3. Durability: Made from tempered glass, the file is resistant to corrosion and retains its abrasive properties for a long time.
4. Ease of cleaning: The file can be easily cleaned with a brush or simply rinsed under running water, restoring its original appearance.
5. Ergonomics: Despite the unusual material, the file fits well in the hand and is properly balanced, making work easier.

Applications:

• Plastic models: Ideal for removing flash and smoothing the surfaces of plastic parts.
• Dioramas: Useful for creating realistic effects on diorama elements.
• Soft plastics and wood: Can be used for processing soft materials, although not recommended for metals.

Usage tests:

• Test I: Removing flash from plastic parts, leaving the surface smooth and shiny.
• Test II: Processing smaller parts near the seam line, resulting in a flat and shiny surface.
• Test III: Polishing hard resin parts, demonstrating the ease of working with resin-based materials.
• Test IV: Polishing small elements where a narrower front of the file is required.

Disadvantages:

• Brittle glass: Despite many advantages, tempered glass is more susceptible to mechanical damage, such as cracks in case of a fall, compared to metal files.
