Bahco 1-143-10-2-2 Mill File 10 in Second Cut 44 Tpi

Product Description

The BAHCO 1-143-10-2-2 is a 10-inch Ergo mill file designed for precision filing on flat and slightly curved metal surfaces. Cut at 44 teeth per inch (TPI) in a second-cut configuration, it removes material at a moderate rate while leaving a smoother finish than a bastard-cut file. The Ergo designation indicates an ergonomic handle design intended to reduce hand fatigue during extended use. This file is a standard hand tool used by machinists, pipefitters, millwrights, and maintenance technicians for deburring, sharpening, and general metal shaping tasks.

The 1-143-10-2-2 is suited for bench work and field use across industrial, mechanical, and trade settings. Its second-cut tooth pattern makes it appropriate for work that requires more surface refinement than rough stock removal but does not yet call for a smooth-cut file. Typical applications include filing burrs from cut pipe, dressing valve seats, sharpening saw blades, and fitting metal components to tolerance.

Key Features

• 10-inch file length for extended reach and leverage on larger workpieces
• Second-cut tooth pattern at 44 TPI for moderate material removal with a cleaner finish
• Mill file profile suited for flat surfaces and gentle curves
• Ergo handle design reduces grip fatigue during prolonged filing operations
• Single-piece construction — sold individually (each)

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose mill file for use with standard file handles and compatible with typical bench vise and hand-filing applications across metalworking trades.

Installation Notes

Mill files are hand tools that require no installation, but safe use practices apply. Always fit the tang securely into an appropriate file handle before use to prevent hand injury. File in one direction only — on the forward stroke — to preserve tooth integrity and avoid premature wear. Keep the file clear of moisture and store it separated from other tools to protect the cutting teeth.
