What is a "file"?

A file is a hand tool used for smoothing or shaping surfaces, especially hard materials like metal, wood, or plastic. It has a rough surface with teeth or ridges that cut into the material when rubbed back and forth. Files come in various shapes and sizes, such as flat, round, or half-round, allowing them to be used for different tasks like refining edges, removing small amounts of material, or smoothing rough surfaces. Files are commonly used in metalworking, woodworking, and other crafting or repair tasks where precision is needed.
