Pferd 19600151 Swiss-pattern Hand File 6 Inches Cut 00

Product Description

The PFERD 19600151 is a Swiss-pattern hand file designed for precision metal finishing and deburring work in trade and industrial applications. This rectangular file measures 6 inches in overall length with a double-cut tooth pattern rated at Cut 00, which is the coarsest grade in the Swiss-pattern classification and removes material efficiently on initial shaping passes. The file body is 5/8 inches wide and 5/32 inches thick, with a tang end for use with a separate handle. It is suited for work on stainless steel and other ferrous and non-ferrous metals where controlled stock removal is required.

This file is used in metalworking, fabrication, and maintenance applications where hand filing is part of the finishing or fitting process. The rectangular cross-section makes it appropriate for flat surfaces, slots, and square shoulders. Cut 00 is well matched to initial shaping work before progressing to finer cut files. Machinists, pipefitters, millwrights, and maintenance technicians commonly use Swiss-pattern files of this type when working with stainless steel components and precision assemblies.

Installation Notes

A file handle should always be fitted to the tang before use to prevent hand injury from the exposed point. File only on the forward stroke and lift the file on the return stroke to preserve tooth life, especially on hardened or stainless steel workpieces. Keep the file clean with a file card or brush to prevent pinning, which can scratch the work surface. Files are hardened tools and should not be struck with a hammer or used as a pry bar.
