31045 Slapping File, Coarse Cut
Eastwood 31045 Features:
An old-time secret for removing dents and/or smoothing body work on hand fabricated panels. The serrated face works in two ways: it shrinks the stretched metal, and highlights high/low spots that require hammer and dolly work. When used as a slapping hammer, with a dolly, files shrink metal to remove high spots. The files can also be used to remove metal.
- Identify high spots that need to be flattened with hammer and dolly work.
- Locate low spots that require filling or leveling for a smooth finish.
- Use a hammer and dolly to gradually reshape and correct imperfections.
- Focus on blending high and low areas to achieve an even surface.
- Inspect the surface regularly to ensure proper alignment and smoothness.
- Apply consistent pressure to avoid creating new dents during the process.
