It features a double-cut tooth pattern, which uses two intersecting rows of teeth to remove material faster than single-cut files. The bastard cut coarseness sits between rough and second-cut grades, making it a practical choice for general stock removal and deburring. The file is 3\/8 inch wide and includes a tang for use with a standard file handle. It is rigid and does not flex during use. Machinists, maintenance technicians, pipefitters, and general trade professionals commonly keep this type of file in their toolkit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis square file is suited for enlarging square or rectangular openings, cleaning keyways, filing internal corners, and dressing flat surfaces where a narrower profile is needed. The 10-inch length and bastard cut coarseness make it well-matched to medium-duty hand filing tasks in shop, field, or maintenance environments. It is used in metalworking, pipe fitting, HVAC service, and general mechanical maintenance applications where precise hand filing is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDouble-cut tooth pattern for faster material removal than single-cut\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBastard cut coarseness for general-purpose stock removal and deburring\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSquare profile at 3\/8 inch wide — suited for keyways, internal corners, and rectangular openings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e10-inch cut length provides good leverage and control for hand filing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTang end accepts standard file handles sold separately\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRigid construction — no flex during use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an American-pattern square file for general hand filing applications across metalworking, mechanical maintenance, and trade service work.

Secure the workpiece in a vise when possible to prevent movement during filing. File in one direction with controlled strokes — avoid sawing back and forth, as this dulls teeth prematurely. Keep the file clear of oils and moisture when stored to prevent corrosion of the teeth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFile Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Square\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCut Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Double Cut\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoarseness\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bastard Cut\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFile Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\/Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTang\/Handle\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tang\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlexible\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.35 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: NICHOLSON\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: T13196\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"NICHOLSON","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51690329604402,"sku":"T13196","price":33.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/3835eb3249d3e1c0311551fc565f5c74.jpg?v=1788268882","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/nicholson-t13196-square-file-10-inch-bastard-cut-double","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
