Fine Finishing with Mr.Hobby GSI-MF06

The Mr.Hobby GSI-MF06 modeling file gives hobbyists a slim, tapered flat leaf blade for controlled shaping and finishing. Its single-sided cut suits careful trimming and smoothing of plastic and resin components.

Best Applications

Use this file for removing flash, tidying seams, and refining small scale parts where accuracy is required. The tapered shape lets you access narrow slots and recessed areas standard files struggle to reach.

Practical Tips

Work with light, steady strokes to preserve fine details and avoid taking off too much material.
Follow up with fine grit abrasive or a micro file to blend and polish the surface.
Keep the file clear of dust and residue by brushing often to maintain cutting performance.

Can I use this file on soft metals like brass?

It is designed for plastic and resin but can work on soft metals if you use gentle pressure and check progress frequently to avoid gouging.

How do I keep the file cutting efficiently?

Clean filings out with a stiff brush after each session and store it dry. Occasional light oiling of the tang area helps prevent corrosion.

What grit should I use after filing?

Start with a fine abrasive around 400-600 grit and finish with 800-1200 grit or polishing cloths depending on the material and desired smoothness.
