Grobet 31.033 Swiss-pattern Barrette File 8 Inches Cut 2

Product Description

The GROBET 31.033 is a Swiss-pattern barrette file designed for precision material removal and finishing work in metal fabrication, toolmaking, and die work. It measures 8 inches overall length with a width of 0.875 inches and a thickness of 0.203 inches (13/64 inches). The Cut 2 double-cut pattern delivers a standard level of precision suited to general shaping and smoothing tasks on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. It features a tang end for use with a file handle, which is required for safe operation.

This barrette file is used in applications where one flat working face and a safe edge are needed, such as filing into corners, slots, and recesses without marring adjacent surfaces. It is a standard tool for machinists, toolmakers, mold makers, jewelers, and metal finishing technicians. The 8-inch length and Cut 2 rating make it appropriate for bench work requiring moderate stock removal with a reasonably smooth finish.

Installation Notes

Always fit a file handle onto the tang before use to prevent hand injuries. Secure the workpiece in a vise or fixture before filing. Never use a file as a pry bar or hammer. Replace worn files rather than applying excessive pressure, which can cause slipping or tooth damage.
