Grobet 31.896 Swiss-pattern Riffler File 6 in Cut 0

Product Description

The GROBET 31.896 is a Swiss-pattern riffler file designed for precise material removal and finishing work on metal surfaces. It features a Cut 0 tooth pattern, which provides a coarse cutting action suited to rapid stock removal while maintaining control in detailed or contoured areas. At 6 inches overall length, this file is sized for hand use in close-tolerance work. The die sinker handle style and riffler form factor make it a standard tool in moldmaking, diesinking, and precision metalworking trades. It comes with a handle included, ready for immediate use on the bench or in the field.

This riffler file is used in metal fabrication, tool and die shops, mold-making environments, and precision machining applications. The riffler shape code 519 identifies a specific curved or contoured blade profile suited to working inside cavities, grooves, and complex surface geometries. It is appropriate for use by machinists, toolmakers, diemakers, and skilled tradespeople who require consistent, repeatable file performance on metal workpieces.

Key Features

• Cut 0 tooth pattern for coarse, aggressive stock removal on metal
• Riffler form factor with shape code 519 for contoured and recessed surface work
• Die sinker handle style for a secure, controlled grip during precision filing
• Handle included - no separate handle purchase required
• 6-inch overall length suited to bench and close-tolerance hand work
• Swiss-pattern construction for consistent tooth geometry and filing performance

Compatibility

Designed for use on metal workpieces in tool and die, moldmaking, and precision metalworking applications where Swiss-pattern riffler files with a Cut 0 rating and contoured profile are required.

Installation Notes

Hand files of this type are used by toolmakers and machinists and require no power or specialized installation. Ensure the handle is fully seated on the tang before use to prevent injury. Work with controlled strokes appropriate to the cut grade - Cut 0 removes material quickly and should be followed with finer cut files if a smoother finish is required. Inspect the file for damage before each use and store in a manner that prevents contact with other metal tools to preserve tooth condition.
