Pferd 19600201 Swiss-pattern Hand File 8 Inches Cut 00

Product Description

The PFERD 19600201 is a Swiss-pattern hand file designed for precision hand-filing work on metal surfaces, including stainless steel. It features a double-cut, Cut 00 tooth pattern ground to Swiss-pattern standards, which produces a finer, more controlled finish than American-pattern files at equivalent cut grades. The rectangular blade measures 8 inches in overall length, 25/32 inches wide, and 7/32 inches thick, with a tapered tang for use with a standard file handle. This file is suited for machinists, tool-and-die tradespeople, fabricators, and maintenance technicians who require consistent, accurate material removal on tight tolerances.

Swiss-pattern files at Cut 00 are used where a moderate-fine finish is needed without excessive stock removal. The rectangular profile fits flat surfaces, slots, and keyways. Stainless steel is listed as the primary material application, making this file appropriate for shops working with corrosion-resistant alloys, aerospace components, or food-grade fabrication where stainless is common. It is equally effective on mild steel, tool steel, and similar ferrous materials in general maintenance and fabrication environments.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style Swiss-pattern replacement file compatible with standard file handles sized for tanged hand files in the 8-inch class.

Installation Notes

A licensed or experienced tradesperson should always seat a file handle securely onto the tang before use to prevent hand injury. File handles are not included and must be sourced separately. Never use a file without a handle, and inspect the tang fit before each use. Files should not be used on rotating machinery; hand filing only.
