Grobet 31.146 Swiss-pattern Hand File Cut 2 6 in

Product Description

The GROBET 31.146 is a Swiss-pattern hand file designed for precision metal removal and finishing work. It features a double-cut, Cut 2 tooth pattern ground to Swiss standards, delivering consistent stock removal with a smooth finish suitable for close-tolerance work. The rectangular profile measures 6 inches in overall length, 0.75 inches wide, and 0.156 inches thick. The file is tang-style, intended for use with a separately sourced handle. It is a standard-precision tool used by machinists, tool-and-die workers, jewelers, and metalworking tradespeople.

This file is suited for hand-filing operations on ferrous and non-ferrous metals, plastics, and similar materials where controlled material removal is required. The Cut 2 double-cut tooth pattern balances aggressiveness and surface finish, making it appropriate for deburring, fitting, and shaping tasks in bench work or field service applications. The compact 6-inch length is well-suited for work on smaller parts or confined areas.

Key Features

• Swiss-pattern construction for consistent, precision tooth geometry
• Double-cut, Cut 2 tooth pattern balances removal rate and surface finish
• Rectangular cross-section - flat faces and square edges for versatile filing angles
• Tang design compatible with standard file handles
• Compact 6-inch overall length suited for small-part and detail work
• Standard-precision grade appropriate for general metalworking and fitting tasks

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct add to existing hand-file sets; fits standard tang-style file handles sized for 6-inch files.

Installation Notes

Always seat the tang fully into a properly sized handle before use - operating a tang file without a handle creates a laceration hazard. Secure the workpiece in a vise when possible to maintain control and consistent stroke pressure. Keep the file clean with a file card or brush to prevent pin loading, which reduces cutting performance. Files are hardened and brittle - do not use as a pry tool or subject them to lateral stress.
