At 14 inches in length with a curved cut tooth pattern, this file delivers smooth, controlled stock removal across flat surfaces. The blade measures 1-11\/32 inches wide and 0.187 inches thick, giving it enough rigidity for firm strokes while remaining suitable for flexible filing applications. The tang is bare, meaning the installer selects and fits a separate handle before use. Weighing 0.668 pounds, it is a standard bench-file tool carried by machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis file is suited for general-purpose hand filing in fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and field service environments. The curved cut geometry is particularly effective on softer metals such as aluminum, where a straight-cut file can load and clog quickly. It also performs on steel for deburring, chamfering, and flat-surface blending. The 14-inch cut length accommodates broad strokes on larger workpieces and is a common choice for both bench vise work and hand-held finishing tasks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCurved cut tooth pattern reduces clogging on aluminum and soft metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e14-inch cut length supports long, efficient filing strokes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFlexible construction allows controlled filing on contoured or uneven surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1-11\/32 inch width provides broad contact on flat workpieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBare tang accepts standard aftermarket file handles\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated for use on both aluminum and steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard American-pattern flat file suitable for general hand filing on aluminum and steel in fabrication, maintenance, and machining applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA file handle must be fitted to the bare tang before use to prevent hand injury during operation. Machinists and fabricators should secure the workpiece in a bench vise before filing to maintain control and consistent stroke angle. Keep the file clean with a file card or brush to prevent pin loading, particularly when working aluminum. Never use a file as a pry bar or striking tool, as the hardened steel body is brittle and can fracture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFile Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Flat\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCut Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Curved\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFile Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 14 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 14 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-11\/32 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.187 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlexible\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Aluminum, Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTang\/Handle\u003c\/strong\u003e: None (bare tang)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.668 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 27111900\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: PFERD\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 14101350\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PFERD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51544485167410,"sku":"14101350","price":153.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/3fdb0305e48162414ddeb0b34aec75f0.jpg?v=1785927709","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/pferd-14101350-american-pattern-flat-file-14-inches","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
