With a 6-inch overall length and a Cut 4 double-cut tooth pattern, this file delivers fine, controlled material removal on flat and parallel surfaces. The rectangular profile measures 0.5 inches wide and approximately 0.109 inches thick, making it well suited for work in tight tolerances. It features a tang end for use with a file handle. Licensed trades and skilled machinists rely on Swiss-pattern files like this one when standard American-pattern files lack the refinement needed for close-tolerance work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis file is appropriate for use on ferrous and non-ferrous metals, hardened tool steel, and similar materials where a smooth, consistent finish is required. The equalling shape produces parallel sides, making it ideal for fitting keyways, slots, and mating flat surfaces. It fits naturally into tool and die work, instrument repair, and precision fabrication applications. The Cut 4 rating indicates a fine tooth pitch within the Swiss-pattern grading system, producing a smoother finish than coarser cut numbers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSwiss-pattern Cut 4 double-cut tooth configuration for fine, controlled stock removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEqualling (rectangular) file shape produces two flat, parallel working faces and edges\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6-inch overall length suits bench work and hand-held precision filing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.5-inch width and 0.109-inch thickness allow access to slots, keyways, and close-clearance surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTang end compatible with standard aftermarket file handles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use Swiss-pattern file compatible with standard file handles sized for a tang-end file.
