Pferd 11107101 Round American-pattern File 4in Single Cut

Product Description

The PFERD 11107101 is a 4-inch round American-pattern file designed for material removal and finishing work across a wide range of metals. It features a single bastard cut — a medium-coarse tooth pattern that removes material efficiently while leaving a workable surface finish. The round profile suits internal curves, holes, and cylindrical surfaces. At 5/32 inch in diameter and 0.03 pounds, this file is a lightweight hand tool sized for precision work in tight geometry. It includes a tang for use with a standard file handle. Installation of a handle is strongly recommended before use.

This file is suited for machining applications and general metalworking in shop and field environments. Its single cut configuration makes it appropriate for controlled stock removal on aluminum, brass, bronze, copper, cast steel, gray and nodular cast iron, zinc, and other non-ferrous metals. It is commonly used by machinists, pipefitters, millwrights, and maintenance technicians who need a compact round file for deburring bores, enlarging holes, and fitting mating parts.

Installation Notes

Always fit a proper file handle onto the tang before use to prevent hand injury from an exposed tang end. Secure the workpiece in a vise or fixture before filing to maintain control and avoid slippage. Files are designed for push-stroke cutting only — dragging on the return stroke dulls the teeth prematurely. Inspect the file for cracks or missing teeth before each use and replace if damaged.
