Pferd 11904202 Mill File 8 Inches Single Cut Second Cut

Product Description

The PFERD 11904202 is an 8-inch American-pattern mill file designed for precision material removal on cast steel and steel workpieces. It features a single-cut tooth pattern with a second-cut coarseness grade, making it well suited for draw-filing flat surfaces, deburring edges, and finishing work where controlled stock removal is needed. The file measures 25/32 inches wide and 9/64 inches thick with a tang end for use with a compatible file handle. At 0.21 pounds, it is lightweight enough for extended handheld use. This is a non-flexible file intended for standard bench and machining applications.

This mill file is used in machining, fabrication, and metalworking environments where technicians need to smooth, flatten, or finish steel and cast steel surfaces. The single-cut, second-cut configuration suits medium finishing passes where a finer surface result is required compared to a bastard cut. It is appropriate for both shop bench work and field service applications where hand filing of metal components is part of routine maintenance or repair workflow.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard American-pattern mill file suitable for use on steel and cast steel. Compatible with any standard file handle sized to accept a tang-style file.

Installation Notes

Always seat the file securely in a properly sized handle before use to prevent injury from the exposed tang. Keep the file clear of moisture and cutting fluids when not in use to prevent corrosion of the tooth face. For draw-filing, maintain consistent pressure and angle throughout the stroke to avoid uneven surface results. Wear appropriate eye protection and gloves when filing metal workpieces.
