#10000 Grits Polishing File

This is a game changer for smoothing 3d prints. But better option than sandpaper alone also much better than metal files. Nice case too

These polishing tools are fantastic for cleaning up the mold lines and sprue marks for Warhammer models from GW. I never knew these existed and now that I do, I will never go back to traditional sandpaper. These Stedi tempered glass tools polish to an incredibly smooth detail, are amazingly easy to clean, and are incredibly sharp while also being safe to the touch. With proper care they will last you a lifetime, just be aware that they ARE still glass so be careful dropping them from any distance as some reviewers report they're fragile. This set is a great starter set, gives you plenty of versatilty for different models. After using these, I was literally in awe of how I managed without them given how much time they saved me - a few passes over a mold line or sprue nub and the plastic is smooth as a flat panel. Just incredible. I was so impressed I even went ahead and picked up the two Stedi 3-packs here on Amazon; the "#320-400 Grit, #400-600Grit, #10000 Grit" step set for the lower grit options when dealing with larger chunks, and the "#600-800 Grits, Anti-Slip Comfortable Grip" for the needle nose version for those smaller, tighter, harder to get areas on a model. Highly recommend you complete the set as well. Can't say enough about these!

I never knew I needed these until I got them in hand. Now, I want more. They are exceptional at smoothing and polishing plastic. I'm using them for 3D printed parts, but as long as you stick to soft materials, they should work no problem. Pro:They come in reusable plastic containers. These are a must as you should never let the polishers hit each other, nor anything hard. The pattern for each grit range is easily identifiable. There is no need to read the label on the smooth side of the polisher to know whichgrit you have in your hand. Cons: The two coarse polishers have a different grit on either end. There is no way that I can see to identify which is which without running your finger other it. There should be an indention or bevel on one end as an identifier. I'm just going to try marking it with a high quality glass pen. Also, the polishers are at their core just special files. This means they need a file card to keep them clean and free of obstructions. The first couple items I tried to polish turned out terrible, as the polisher fouled out and drug a set of deep scratches into the surface. This kit should include an appropriate brush to clean the polishers as they are being used. One other change I would like to see is different patterns for the grits to allow for a better range of material harnesses. In this regards, these polishers are in a very early stage of development. I hope they catch on so we can have more variety. TLDR: I love them and will buy more!

These are excellent polishing tools. One important thing to know is that they are directional, and in my experience they work considerably better when used wet. On models, they can take a properly prepared surface all the way to an extremely smooth, almost glass-like finish. They're especially useful when I want to remove very fine sanding marks rather than continue removing significant material. I even used one very carefully on the display surface of one of my 3D printers to remove some dried resin. It allowed me to gradually work the resin off, and afterward the surface was smooth with no visible scratches. That's not necessarily how everyone should use them, but it demonstrated to me just how fine the polishing surface is. For precision model work, they've become very useful finishing tools.

I was skeptical about these kinds of sanding tools, so I got these a little cheaper and figured if I liked them I could always upgrade. I liked them enough I didn't feel the need to upgrade. They make sanding plastic models soooo much easier. Even the lower grit sticks leave a nice finish, so I don't need to do as many finishing passes to get back to a glossy surface. They're also relatively easy to clean, just run them under some water and dry immediately. No more constantly running to the store to get more sanding sticks.

They are a bit hard to use compared to normal files so I wish they had some kind of instructions included but once you get used to them they are quite nice

I've been slacking on leaving reviews but once I got the notification for these I had to. Leaves. Across finish on parts. Shapes fit various areas etc. for the price, 12/10 recommended. There may be better products out there. Going to try them out soon. But value per dollar these cannot be beat. They clean easily as well

Neat little tool to shape glass ; loving it

Elles sont tops Quasi aucunes traces sur les pièces des maquettes et ne change pas la couleur du plastique Le seul point négatif c'est qu'elles s'encrasse vite Bonne prise en main Je recommande pour faire des maquettes du type gundam

Non avevo mai usato prima delle lime di questo tipo e il risultato è stupefacente. Certo bisogna fare un po di pratica e test sui materiali, io le sto usando con le stampe 3D, ma poi diventano fondamentali per rendere lisce e lucide le parti. Facilissime da pulire.

非常に切削面が綺麗である。 切削力も高いが、あくまでも使えるのは樹脂系であろう。

Einwandfreie Feilen Nutze Werkzeug von Stedi seit ein paar Monaten für ein paar Gundam Bausätze und auch die Feilen Saubere, glänzende Oberflächen anstelle von hässlichen Angusspunkten. Wunderbar!

Easy to clean with a brush gives a great finish and they are very well made. Cutting performance is very accurate and easily controlled between each file. Small enough to go in a hobby kit and each one has its own case so no need to worry about them getting damaged. Grit options are great because I can get large sprue ends downs in seconds and literally make the model have a gloss finish within a minute.
