Pferd 11103251 Flat File 10 Inches Bastard Cut

Product Description

The PFERD 11103251 is a 10-inch American-pattern flat file designed for material removal, deburring, and surface finishing across a wide range of metals. It features a bastard cut with double-cut tooth geometry, delivering aggressive stock removal in a controlled pattern. The file is 31/32 inches wide and 1/4 inch thick, with a tapered tang end for use with a standard file handle. It is a rigid, non-flexible construction suited to hand filing operations in machine shops, fabrication environments, and general metalworking. Machinists, toolmakers, and maintenance technicians are the primary users of this tool.

This flat file is rated for use on aluminum, brass, bronze, copper, cast steel, gray and nodular cast iron, non-ferrous metals, steel, and zinc. The bastard cut makes it appropriate for initial shaping and material removal before transitioning to finer cuts. It fits standard American-pattern file applications in production machining, maintenance, and repair work where a 10-inch flat profile is required.

Installation Notes

This file is intended for use by machinists, toolmakers, and metalworking professionals. Always fit the tang fully into a properly sized file handle before use to prevent hand injury. Keep the file clear of moisture and cutting fluids when not in use to avoid premature corrosion of the teeth. Files should never be used on materials harder than their rated application range, as this will dull the teeth rapidly and may cause chipping.
