At 8 inches overall length, this double-cut file features a Cut 0 coarseness rating, making it suitable for fast stock removal on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The rectangular cross-section measures 15\/32 inches wide and 11\/64 inches thick. A tang end is included for use with a compatible file handle. Swiss-pattern files are ground to tighter tolerances than American-pattern files and are the standard choice for tool and die work, mold finishing, and precision fitting tasks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis crochet file is used in trade shops, machine shops, tool and die operations, and general metalworking environments where controlled material removal is required. The rectangular profile allows access to flat surfaces, shoulders, and right-angle features. Cut 0 provides aggressive cutting action suitable for roughing operations before progressing to finer cuts. Licensed machinists, tool and die makers, and fabricators working with steel, aluminum, brass, and similar materials are the primary users of this file.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSwiss-pattern construction ground to tighter tolerances than American-pattern files\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCut 0 double-cut tooth pattern for fast, controlled stock removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRectangular crochet profile: 15\/32 inches wide by 11\/64 inches thick\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e8-inch overall length suits bench work and hand-fitting tasks\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTang end accepts standard file handles for secure grip during use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStandard precision grade appropriate for general metalworking and fabrication\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style Swiss-pattern replacement file for use with standard tang-style file handles compatible with 8-inch files.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlways seat a properly sized file handle onto the tang before use to prevent hand injury from an exposed tang end. File in one direction only, lifting the file on the return stroke to preserve tooth life and maintain cutting efficiency. Inspect the file for cracks or missing teeth before each use and replace if damaged. No power tools or special codes apply to hand file use, but proper personal protective equipment including eye protection is standard practice in any shop environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFile Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Crochet\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCut Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Double Cut\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFile Shape\u003c\/strong\u003e: Rectangular\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 15\/32 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 11\/64 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTang\/Handle\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tang\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLevel of Precision\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePattern\u003c\/strong\u003e: Swiss\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: GROBET\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 31.053\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GROBET USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67918098465074,"sku":"31.053","price":87.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/7062897055d1342196006f5643fc5ab6.jpg?v=1791267295","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/grobet-31-053-swiss-pattern-crochet-file-8-in-cut-0","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
