BROWNELLS 65 DEGREE 1911 DOVETAIL TYPE SLOT SIGHT BASE FILES

The Brownells 65 Degree 1911 Dovetail Type Slot Sight Base Files are precision-engineered tools designed specifically for gunsmiths and firearm enthusiasts who require exacting control when fitting or adjusting 65-degree dovetail slots for sight bases. These files ensure that dovetail slots are widened or deepened without altering their dimensions or damaging adjacent surfaces, maintaining the firearm's structural integrity and aesthetic appeal.

Description and Features:

These specialized files are true parallel, three-square tools featuring one cutting side and two safe (non-cutting) sides. This design allows for precise widening or deepening of dovetail slots without the risk of altering the slot's dimensions or marring the untouched edges. The parallel construction provides absolute control over the angle of the dovetail, a level of precision unattainable with standard files.


Available in two variants:

• #1 Medium Double Cut: Offers a medium cut suitable for general dovetail slot adjustments.

• #2 Fine Single Cut: Provides a finer cut for more delicate and precise work.

Each file measures 7 inches (17.8 cm) in length and 0.280 inches (7.1 mm) in width, making them suitable for a variety of dovetail slot applications .
