Dent Fix 350mm Body File Blade | DF-900BFB

Product Description

Meets the requirements of Ford and Mercedes.
The Dent Fix 350mm Body File Blade (SKU: DF-900BFB) is a premium, flexible spring-steel replacement blade engineered specifically for professional automotive bodywork and aluminum repair. Designed to serve as a direct replacement consumable for the Dent Fix Body File Holder (DF-900BFH), this 14-inch blade is an integral component originally equipped with the Ford Aluminum Hand Tool Kit, GM hand tool kit, Mercedes hand tool kit, AluSpot DX, and DXE Aluminum Repair Systems.  In modern collision repair, shaving down aluminum and steel after structural pulling or stud welding requires a specialized cutting surface. This blade features an aggressive tooth pattern optimized for fast, controlled material removal without the aggressive heat build-up associated with power grinding. Its highly flexible spring-steel construction allows technicians to seamlessly contour the blade against complex vehicle curves, ensuring perfectly levelled surfaces while preventing material clogging or clear coat paint burns. 

Key Features

• Flexible Spring-Steel Build: Constructed from high-quality, pliable spring steel that naturally flexes to match the curvature of rounded vehicle panels and complex structural crowns.  
• Aggressive Material Removal: Engineered with specialized teeth designed to shave down high spots and excess material rapidly without gouging the substrate.  
• Clog & Heat Resistant: The tooth spacing actively prevents aluminum shavings from clogging the blade and prevents the paint burn typically caused by friction heat.  
• Direct OEM Fitment: Designed as a seamless drop-in replacement blade for Mercedes, Ford, and GM hand tool list.  
• AluSpot Compatibility: The authentic replacement consumable utilized in Dent Fix’s premium AluSpot DX and DXE professional repair stations. 

Ideal For

• Aluminum Panel Repair: Shaving down high spots and levelling delicate aluminum body panels after stud welding without introducing heat or tearing the soft metal.  
• High-End Collision Centres: Maintaining the pristine cutting efficiency of existing Dent Fix AluSpot stations by replacing dull or worn blades.  
• Precision Metal Finishing: Executing final manual metal-levelling tasks over complex vehicle body lines and crowns before transitioning to filler or primer.

Common Questions:

Q: Does this blade come with the handle?
A: No, this specific product (DF-900BFB) is strictly the 350mm replacement blade. It is designed to be installed into the Dent Fix Body File Holder (DF-900BFH), which must be purchased separately if you do not already own one.

Q: Will this blade work on both steel and aluminum?
A: While it is an OEM component of aluminum repair kits and is highly optimized for shaving soft aluminum without clogging, its aggressive spring-steel teeth are also highly effective for levelling standard automotive sheet metal.

Q: Why should I use a hand file instead of an angle grinder?
A: Angle grinders spin at incredibly high speeds, which introduces massive amounts of thermal energy (heat) into the panel. On thin automotive steel and delicate aluminum, this heat can permanently warp the metal or burn away factory e-coats. A manual body file blade gives the technician perfect tactical control over material removal without generating panel-distorting heat.
