Grobet 31.123 Swiss-pattern Half Round File 10in Cut 0

Product Description

The GROBET 31.123 is a Swiss-pattern half round file with a Cut 0 coarseness rating, designed for precision material removal and shaping in metalworking and fabrication applications. At 10 inches overall length, 1 inch wide, and 19/64 inches thick, this double-cut file features a tang end for use with a separate handle. Swiss-pattern files are ground to tighter tolerances than American-pattern files, making this tool well-suited for machinists, toolmakers, and trade professionals who require consistent, controlled stock removal on ferrous and non-ferrous metals.

This file is used in bench work, die and mold finishing, deburring, and general filing tasks where a half round profile is needed to work both flat and curved surfaces. The flat face handles straight surfaces while the curved face addresses concave contours and radii. Cut 0 provides an aggressive tooth pitch appropriate for rapid stock removal on softer materials or rough work before finer finishing passes. It is a standard-precision tool suited for shop use by machinists, pipefitters, plumbers, and HVAC technicians working with metal components.

Key Features

• Swiss-pattern construction ground to tighter tolerances than American-pattern files for consistent performance
• Half round profile works both flat and concave curved surfaces in a single tool
• Double-cut tooth pattern on flat face for efficient material removal
• Cut 0 coarseness for aggressive stock removal in rough filing applications
• Tang end compatible with standard file handles sold separately
• 10-inch overall length suitable for bench vise and hand filing work

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Swiss-pattern half round file for use with any compatible file handle accepting a tang-style file of this size class.

Installation Notes

Always seat the tang fully into a properly sized file handle before use to prevent hand injury from an exposed tang. Secure the workpiece in a bench vise when filing for control and safety. Do not use the file without a handle. Files should not be used on materials harder than the file itself, as this will damage the teeth.
