The half round profile gives technicians two working surfaces in one tool: a flat face for broad stock removal and a curved face for contoured or concave workpieces. The smooth cut pattern is suited for final finishing passes where surface quality matters. The file measures 12 inches in cut length with an overall length of 15 inches, a width of 1.12 inches, and a thickness of 0.315 inches. No handle is included. The marking style is hard stamped for permanent identification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis file is used across plumbing, HVAC, and electrical trades for cleaning burrs from copper pipe ends, smoothing conduit edges, fitting sheet metal, and refining machined surfaces. The smooth cut is appropriate for softer metals, plastics, and finish work where a bastard or second-cut file would leave too coarse a surface. At 15 inches overall, the tool provides adequate leverage for bench work and field service tasks alike.
