The 74126 is the half-round choice in this hard-coated group. Its 5 mm working width is the dimension to compare with the area being shaped; it is not a grit grade or a material thickness. The seller describes a hard-chrome-plated file for both model plastic and stainless metal parts.
Choose the flat 74106 for a 6 mm flat working face or the round 74107 when a 3 mm cylindrical form is more suitable. These are profile choices within the range, not claims that a wider file will remove a particular amount of material. The 74126 listing does not give a dependable working-section length or numerical tooth pattern.
For photo-etched detail, Tamiya’s 74066 offers a diamond working surface and a half-circle shape specifically described for hard-to-reach areas. Compare that abrasive construction and target task with this hard-chrome file when the material and contact shape determine the choice.

Your questions about this product
Should I choose half-round or flat?
This 74126 has a 5 mm half-round form. The 74106 is a 6 mm flat file; choose the working contact shape that fits the surface rather than just the larger width.
Why compare the 74066 for photo-etched parts?
The 74066 is a dedicated diamond file with a half-circle shape for reaching those details. This 74126 is described as hard-chrome plated for broader plastic/metal shaping.
How should I compare it with my sanding tools?
Compare the 5 mm half-round contact shape and hard-chrome file surface. A numerical sanding-grit equivalent is not supplied for this model.
