It features a bastard cut on the flat faces with double cut on the sides and single cut on the edges, giving technicians control over both aggressive stock removal and finer edge work in a single tool. The file body measures 14 inches in length and 1.33 inches in width, with a thickness of 0.22 inches, and is constructed from hardened steel. Hard stamped markings identify the file grade and type. No handle is included.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis flat file is suited for bench work, pipe fitting, fabrication shops, electrical rough-in, and HVAC sheet metal work where deburring, shaping, or smoothing metal edges is required. The bastard cut grade makes it appropriate for faster material removal on ferrous and non-ferrous metals before finishing with a finer cut file. It is well suited for trade professionals who need a reliable general-purpose flat file for shop or field use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBastard cut on flat faces for efficient stock removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDouble cut on sides and single cut on edges for versatile filing profiles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e14-inch file length suitable for medium to large workpieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardened steel construction for durability across ferrous and non-ferrous materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHard stamped markings for lasting grade identification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold individually with no handle included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose flat file for trade and fabrication use across metalworking, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and related applications where a bastard cut flat file is specified.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eA licensed or experienced trade professional should use appropriate personal protective equipment, including eye protection and gloves, when filing metal.
