Bahco 1-143-06-2-2 Mill File Ergo 6 Inches Second Cut

Product Description

The BAHCO 1-143-06-2-2 is an Ergo mill file designed for sharpening, deburring, and finishing metal surfaces. At 6 inches in length with a second cut profile and 53 teeth per inch (TPI), this file removes material at a controlled rate while leaving a smoother surface finish than a bastard cut. The second cut tooth pattern makes it well-suited for work that demands more precision than rough stock removal but does not require the fine finish of a smooth cut file. Sold individually, it is a standard hand tool for any trade shop, fabrication bench, or field kit.

Mill files in this profile are commonly used by HVAC technicians, plumbers, pipefitters, electricians, and general maintenance tradespeople for dressing burrs from cut pipe or conduit, sharpening blades, and cleaning up metal edges before assembly. The 6-inch length is a practical size for tight spaces and one-hand operation. The Ergo designation indicates a handle-ready or ergonomic interface suited to standard file handles.

Key Features

• Second cut tooth pattern at 53 TPI for controlled material removal and a smoother finish
• 6-inch file length suited for close-quarter filing and one-hand use
• Mill file profile for flat surface work, deburring, and edge dressing
• Ergo design compatible with standard file handles for secure grip
• Sold as a single unit for individual replacement or kit stocking

Compatibility

Designed as a standard mill file for use with compatible file handles; fits typical trade and fabrication applications requiring a 6-inch second cut file.

Installation Notes

File handles should be seated securely before use to prevent tang exposure during operation. Always push the file forward on the cutting stroke and lift on the return to extend tooth life. Wear appropriate eye protection when filing metal to guard against swarf. No power tools or special trade licensing are required for hand file use, though proper technique is recommended per shop safety standards.
