Swix TA 520 Base File Guide

The adjustment

Winkel einstellbar von 0,5 Grad bis 2,0 Grad in 0,05-Grad-Schritten.

From half a degree to two degrees, in twentieths of a degree.

That is thirty-one positions in one tool, against six tools for six angles on the side guide beside it — and it is the whole reason this one costs more than twice as much.

What it takes

Kompatibel mit Feilen mit einer Länge von 10 cm und einer Breite von nicht mehr als 25 mm, and files of varying thickness bis ca. 5 mm.

Three numbers, published, which the other guide on this shelf does not manage. Check them against the file you already own: none of the three steel files in this family is 10 cm long except the 100 mm RiSki.

The build

Solide, robuste Aluminiumkonstruktion mit Kunststoffführungseinstellung — aluminium body, plastic setting mechanism.

The word Aktenhalter

The German text calls this a document holder. It is the same machine translation of “file” that the XCMAN guide carries, on a different listing from a different maker, which tells you how these pages are produced.

The price across six stores

52.99 in Britain. 58.99 in Italy. 59.70 in Spain. 59.99 in France. 63.00 in the United States. 69.60 in Germany.

Germany pays the most for it, by nearly seventeen euros over Britain.

Availability

One check, 59 € at the bottom and 70 € at the top, across the German, French, Italian and Spanish Amazon shops.

Outside the euro, the American and British Amazon shops sell it in their own currencies, and the range above is kept clear of that.
