Pferd 11904251 Mill File 10 Inches Single Cut Bastard

Product Description

The PFERD 11904251 is a 10-inch American-pattern mill file designed for material removal and surface finishing on cast steel and steel workpieces. It features a single cut pattern in a bastard cut coarseness, making it well suited for general-purpose filing tasks where moderate stock removal and a reasonably smooth finish are both required. The file measures 31/32 inches wide and 7/32 inch thick along the cutting length, and it includes a tang for use with a standard file handle. At 0.49 pounds, it is light enough for extended hand-tool work without fatigue.

This mill file is intended for machining and metalworking applications in both shop and field environments. Single cut bastard files in this length are commonly used by machinists, toolmakers, millwrights, and maintenance technicians for deburring, draw-filing, and sharpening saw teeth or cutting edges. The 10-inch length suits bench vise work on medium-sized steel parts and provides good control during hand-filing operations on cast steel and steel substrates.

Key Features

• 10-inch cutting length with single cut, bastard coarseness for moderate stock removal
• Mill file profile — flat, with a rectangular cross-section suited for flat and curved surfaces
• 31/32-inch width provides a broad filing face for draw-filing and edge work
• 7/32-inch thickness keeps the file rigid without adding unnecessary weight
• Tang end accepts standard file handles for a secure grip during use
• Rated for use on cast steel and steel workpieces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use American-pattern mill file for hand-tool metalworking applications on steel and cast steel materials.

Installation Notes

Always fit a proper handle onto the tang before use to prevent hand injury from the exposed tang point. Secure the workpiece firmly in a bench vise before filing. File in one direction — push stroke — to preserve cutting edge life on single cut files. Keep the file clear of moisture and apply a light coat of chalk or file card regularly to prevent pinning and extend service life.
