Pferd 11125152 Half Round File 6 in Second Cut Double Tang

Product Description

The PFERD 11125152 is a 6-inch American-pattern half round file designed for material removal, deburring, and surface finishing in machining and fabrication applications. It features a double cut pattern with a second cut coarseness grade, making it well suited for moderate stock removal and refining surfaces on a wide range of metals. The half round profile provides two working surfaces in one tool: a flat face for flat or convex work and a curved face for concave surfaces, channels, and rounded recesses. The tang end accepts a standard file handle. At 0.15 pounds, it is a compact, handheld tool sized for bench work and detailed fitting tasks.

This file is intended for use on aluminum, brass, bronze, cast steel, copper, gray and nodular cast iron, non-ferrous metals, steel, and zinc. It suits machine shops, tool rooms, fabrication benches, and maintenance environments where a versatile hand file is needed for fitting, deburring, and shaping operations. The 6-inch cut length and second cut coarseness make it a practical all-around choice for technicians and machinists working on medium-precision hand-fitting tasks.

Key Features

• Half round profile provides both a flat and a curved cutting surface in a single tool

• Suitable for aluminum, brass, bronze, copper, steel, cast iron, and other non-ferrous metals
• Non-flexible body for controlled, consistent cutting strokes

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose American-pattern hand file for use with standard file handles on bench-mounted and handheld machining and fabrication tasks across the listed material types.

Installation Notes

Install a correctly sized file handle onto the tang before use to prevent hand injury from an exposed tang point. Secure the workpiece in a vise or fixture before filing. File teeth are designed for forward stroke cutting only; lifting the file on the return stroke extends tool life. This tool requires no power source and no special certifications for general shop use, though applicable workplace safety standards should be observed.
