VAG-318 Pneumatic file with 6 mm collet and 3,700 strokes/min — Vertex

The VAG-318 is a compact pneumatic file designed for precision shaping and finishing in metalworking, woodworking, shoemaking and mould maintenance.

• 6 mm collet for standard file bits
• 3,700 strokes per minute performance
• Lightweight 1.25 kg housing for ease of handling
• Compact 175 mm length for tight spaces

Fast material removal that keeps production moving

With a rated 3,700 strokes per minute, this air-powered finishing tool accelerates stock removal and produces a consistent surface texture across different substrates. The high stroke rate translates directly into shorter processing times for deburring and profiling tasks on metal and wood, while the steady reciprocating action supports controlled finishing on shoe components and moulds. For workshops focused on throughput, the measurable increase in cycle speed offers a clear efficiency gain without complex setup.

Precision access in confined or detailed workpieces

The short 175 mm overall length and balanced mass make the tool particularly suitable where space is limited or fine control is required. The 6 mm collet accepts standard file bits, enabling straightforward replacement and compatibility with widely used consumables. At 1.25 kg, the unit reduces operator fatigue during extended use, improving repeatability when shaping edges or working on delicate contours. These physical attributes provide practical benefits in everyday workshop tasks where accuracy matters.

Simple integration and consumable compatibility

Designed as a pneumatic tool, the VAG-318 integrates with standard compressed-air systems commonly found in industrial and small-scale workshops, allowing quick adoption without electrical modifications. The standard collet size means common file inserts are compatible, simplifying inventory and reducing downtime for part changes. This compatibility supports a smoother workflow and helps maintain consistent quality across varied jobs, from prototype finishing to repeat production runs.

Reliability, ergonomics and workshop productivity

As a tool from Vertex, the product combines focused design for finishing tasks with handling features that support continuous operation. The compact form factor and measured stroke rate reduce the need for multiple specialised tools, streamlining the toolset required at the bench. Alongside tangible productivity improvements, users gain confidence from consistent performance and adaptable use across metal, wood, shoe and mould applications, contributing to a dependable everyday workflow.
