The set includes one 8-inch flat bastard file and one 10-inch flat smooth file, covering both aggressive stock removal and fine finishing in a single kit. Both files feature a rectangular cross-section and straight handle style with no built-in handles. This set is sized and configured for use by machinists, pipefitters, millwrights, electricians, and general tradespeople who require precision hand-file work across a range of materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis file set is suited for residential and commercial trade environments where hand-filing is part of routine fabrication, fitting, or finishing work. The bastard-cut file handles rapid material removal on ferrous and non-ferrous metals as well as wood, while the smooth-cut file is used for final surface refinement and edge cleanup. The combination of two file sizes in one set makes it practical for bench work, field service, and general maintenance tasks across multiple trades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2-piece set includes one 8-inch flat bastard file and one 10-inch flat smooth file\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAmerican pattern with rectangular cross-section for flat and edge filing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBastard grade for aggressive stock removal; smooth grade for fine finishing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStraight handle style; handles sold or sourced separately\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSuitable for metalworking and woodworking applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStandard level of precision appropriate for general trade use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for general metalworking and woodworking applications.
