Grobet 31.918 Swiss-pattern Riffler File 6 Inches Cut 2

Product Description

The GROBET 31.918 is a Swiss-pattern riffler file designed for precision metalworking and die sinking applications. At 6 inches overall length with a Cut 2 tooth configuration, it delivers controlled material removal on metal surfaces where accuracy matters. The die sinker's handle style provides a secure grip during detailed hand-filing work. Riffler files of this type are standard tools for moldmakers, toolmakers, and machinists who need to work contoured or recessed surfaces that straight files cannot reach.

This file is suited for bench work in tool-and-die shops, mold-making facilities, and precision machining environments. The riffler profile and die sinker's handle make it particularly useful for finishing cavities, contours, and hard-to-reach geometry in metal workpieces. It is sold individually and is appropriate for professional tradespeople and skilled machinists working with metal stock, tooling, or die components.

Installation Notes

This file is a hand tool and does not require mechanical installation. Always inspect the handle for cracks or looseness before use, as a damaged handle can cause injury during filing. Use appropriate personal protective equipment including eye protection and cut-resistant gloves when filing metal. Store the file separately or in a protective sleeve to prevent contact with other tools, which can dull the cutting teeth.
