Grobet 31.206 Swiss Pattern File 6 in Narrow Pillar Cut 0

Product Description

The GROBET 31.206 is a Swiss-pattern narrow pillar file designed for precision hand filing in metal fabrication, tool-and-die, and maintenance applications. Measuring 6 inches in overall length with a rectangular cross-section 13/64 inches wide and 1/8 inch thick, this file delivers controlled material removal in confined slots, keyways, and narrow grooves. Cut 0 coarseness removes stock efficiently while leaving a surface finish suitable for further refinement. Double-cut construction accelerates filing by shearing material on both the forward and return strokes. A tang end accepts a standard file handle for secure grip during use. Machinists, tool makers, and metal fabricators are the primary users of this tool.

This narrow pillar file suits bench work on ferrous and non-ferrous metals, plastics, and soft alloys. Its slim rectangular profile fits into recessed areas where wider files cannot reach. Typical applications include fitting keyways, cleaning up milled slots, deburring stamped parts, and shaping die components. The 6-inch length is practical for detail work requiring close hand control. This file is intended for professional trade use in machine shops, maintenance facilities, and tool rooms where consistent Swiss-pattern quality and standard sizing are required.

Installation Notes

Files are installed by hand and require no power tools or fasteners. Always fit a proper handle onto the tang before use to prevent hand injury from the exposed tang end. Secure the workpiece in a vise before filing. Clean the file teeth regularly with a file card to prevent pinning and maintain cutting efficiency.
