Pferd 14101303 Flat File 12 Inches Curved Cut

Product Description

The PFERD 14101303 is an American-pattern flat file designed for material removal and surface finishing on aluminum and steel workpieces. Measuring 12 inches in length with a width of 1-5/32 inches and a thickness of 0.187 inches, this file features a curved cut profile rated at Cut 3, making it well suited for controlled stock removal on softer metals and ferrous surfaces alike. The flexible construction allows it to conform slightly under hand pressure, giving the user more contact control on curved or contoured surfaces. No tang or handle is included, so a file handle must be sourced separately before use.

This flat file is appropriate for use in metalworking, fabrication, and maintenance applications across residential and light industrial settings. It is commonly used by machinists, pipefitters, millwrights, and general maintenance technicians who need to dress edges, deburr cuts, or refine weld beads on aluminum and steel components. The 12-inch cut length provides good reach for bench filing tasks and fits standard file holders.

Installation Notes

This file is installed by hand into a separately purchased file handle before use. Always secure the handle firmly to prevent slippage during filing.

Personal protective equipment including safety glasses and gloves is recommended during all filing operations.
