At 4 inches in file length with an overall length of 5.75 inches, it delivers control in tight areas where larger files cannot reach. The bastard cut provides an aggressive material removal rate suited to rough shaping and fast stock removal on steel and similar metals. This file ships without a handle and is intended for use by machinists, pipefitters, plumbers, and HVAC technicians who need a compact, reliable hand file for field or bench work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis half round file is well suited to both flat and curved work surfaces. The flat face handles straight edges and flat stock, while the rounded face works inside curved cutouts, pipe notches, and radiused openings. At 0.43 inches wide and 0.13 inches thick, it fits into restricted spaces and is commonly used during rough fitting of pipe ends, conduit work, bracket fabrication, and general metalworking tasks in residential and light commercial service applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBastard cut for aggressive stock removal and rapid shaping\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHalf round profile works on both flat and curved surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact 4-inch file length for use in confined spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHard stamped marking for permanent, readable identification\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSteel construction for durability across standard metalworking applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold individually without handle, compatible with standard file handles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose bastard-cut half round file suitable for use with standard aftermarket or OEM file handles sized for 4-inch files.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis file should be fitted with an appropriate handle before use to reduce the risk of hand injury from the tang.
