It features a double cut tooth pattern with a bastard cut coarseness grade, making it effective for rapid material removal across a wide range of metalworking tasks. The file is 25\/32 inches wide and 13\/64 inches thick, providing a sturdy profile that resists flex during use. An ergonomic handle is included, giving machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians a secure grip during extended filing operations. This tool is not flexible and is built for rigid hand-filing applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis file is suited for machining and metal fabrication environments where controlled material removal is required. It performs well on ferrous and non-ferrous metals in both shop and field settings. The flat profile and double cut geometry make it a go-to choice for deburring, shaping, and fitting metal parts. It ships individually with the handle attached and is ready for immediate use on the bench or in a toolbox.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDouble cut tooth pattern for fast, aggressive material removal on metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBastard cut coarseness grade for general-purpose stock removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFlat file profile, 25\/32 inches wide and 13\/64 inches thick\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e8-inch cut length across the full working surface\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eErgonomic handle included for improved grip and control\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNon-flexible construction for rigid, controlled filing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use on metal workpieces in general machining and fabrication applications.
