Pferd 11801542 American File Set 5 Piece Second Cut

Product Description

The PFERD 11801542 is a 5-piece American-pattern file set designed for metal removal, deburring, and surface finishing across a range of workpiece profiles. The set includes a hand file, round file, square file, tapered half-round file, and three-square file, covering flat, curved, internal, and angled surfaces. All five files carry a second-cut grade, which delivers a balance of stock removal speed and surface finish quality suited to general-purpose bench and field work. Files feature ergonomic handles and a 9.25-inch length of cut. The complete set stores and transports in an included roll-up pouch, keeping files organized and protected between uses.

This set is suited for use in metal fabrication shops, maintenance and repair operations, HVAC service, plumbing rough-in, and electrical work where hand filing of metal components is routine. The mix of five file shapes allows technicians to address flat stock, round pipe or rod, square and rectangular profiles, and inside-angled surfaces without swapping between separate tool sets. The second-cut grade works well on ferrous and non-ferrous metals and is appropriate for both production filing and detail finishing tasks.

Installation Notes

Hand files are used by metalworkers, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and electricians for deburring, shaping, and fitting metal parts. Always inspect files for cracks or loose handles before use and replace damaged files immediately. Use a file card or brush to clear chips from the teeth regularly to maintain cutting efficiency. Never use a file as a pry bar or striking tool, as the hardened steel is brittle and can fracture.
