Ruby Midget Files are precision abrasive tools made from pure, sintered crystals of synthetic ruby with no bonding material — resulting in exceptional hardness and outstanding resistance to changes in shape. These round-profile files are ideal for jewelers, engravers, and mold and die professionals who demand accuracy and longevity from their finishing tools. The ruby files hold their shape well, but can be reshaped and adjusted with diamond wheels and burs. Ruby Stones are the ideal choice for deburring, blending, dressing, and fine polishing of molds and dies made of hard metals such as hardened tool steel, carbide, and surgical stainless steel. Jewelers use them for sharpening carbide and high-speed steel engravers and other tools.
