Grobet 31.225 Swiss Pattern Narrow Pillar File 6 in Cut 0

Product Description

The GROBET 31.225 is a Swiss-pattern narrow pillar file designed for precision material removal in close-tolerance filing applications. Measuring 6 inches in overall length, 0.25 inches wide, and approximately 0.141 inches thick, this file fits into narrow slots, keyways, and tight internal features where wider files cannot reach. Cut 0 denotes a coarse tooth pattern suited for rapid stock removal on softer metals, plastics, and non-ferrous materials. The double-cut tooth configuration produces fast, aggressive cutting action. A tang end accepts a standard file handle. This tool is used by machinists, tool and die makers, pipefitters, and precision trade technicians.

The GROBET 31.225 is well suited for bench work involving slotted components, keyways, splines, and narrow recesses in both shop and field settings. Its rectangular cross-section and narrow profile make it appropriate for deburring internal passages, fitting valve components, cleaning pipe threads, and truing mating surfaces in light industrial and mechanical trade applications. The standard level of precision is appropriate for general-purpose fitting tasks that do not require the finer finishes produced by higher cut numbers.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Swiss-pattern narrow pillar file for use with any compatible aftermarket file handle accepting a tapered tang; fits general bench filing applications in machining, pipefitting, and mechanical trade work.

Installation Notes

A file handle should always be fitted to the tang before use to prevent hand injury. File in one direction with controlled strokes, lifting the file on the return stroke to preserve tooth life. Do not use this file on hardened steel surfaces, as this will damage the teeth. Inspect the tang and teeth before each use and replace if teeth are worn smooth or the tang is cracked.
