- Measurements given for file dimensions are taken at the thickest point of the file.
- Cut grading runs from 00 (coarsest) to 6 (finest) — the higher the number, the finer the cut.
- Legacy part numbers from the former Grobet USA distribution are listed in the Available Options table for reference.
