Pferd 19600202 Swiss-pattern Hand File 8 in Cut 0

Product Description

The PFERD 19600202 is a Swiss-pattern hand file designed for precision material removal and finishing work on stainless steel and other hard metals. This rectangular file measures 8 inches in overall length, 25/32 inches wide, and 7/32 inches thick, with a double-cut, Cut 0 tooth pattern that delivers aggressive stock removal while maintaining control across the workpiece. The tang end accepts a standard file handle for secure grip during use. It is sized and configured for bench work, deburring, and fit-up tasks performed by machinists, tool-and-die workers, fabricators, and maintenance technicians.

This file is suited for precision hand-filing applications in metalworking, fabrication shops, and maintenance environments. The Cut 0 double-cut pattern is particularly effective on stainless steel, hardened alloys, and other materials that require controlled, consistent metal removal. The rectangular cross-section allows flat surface filing as well as access to shoulders and inside corners. It is appropriate for both light production work and fine fitting tasks where dimensional accuracy matters.

Key Features

• Swiss-pattern double-cut, Cut 0 tooth configuration for aggressive yet controlled stock removal
• Rectangular cross-section allows flat surface filing and access to shoulders and corners
• Rated for use on stainless steel and hard metal applications
• 8-inch overall length with tang end compatible with standard file handles
• 25/32-inch width and 7/32-inch thickness provide a rigid, stable cutting surface

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use Swiss-pattern hand file compatible with standard tang-style file handles for bench metalworking and fabrication applications.

Installation Notes

Always fit the tang into a properly sized file handle before use to prevent hand injury. Secure the workpiece in a vise when hand filing to maintain control and consistent stroke direction. File in one direction with consistent pressure; lifting on the return stroke extends tooth life. Wear appropriate eye protection and gloves when filing stainless steel or other hard materials that may produce sharp chips.
