Pferd 19600204 Swiss-pattern Hand File 8 in Cut 2

Product Description

The PFERD 19600204 is a Swiss-pattern hand file designed for precision filing and finishing work on metal surfaces. It features a double-cut, Cut 2 tooth pattern on a rectangular blade profile, producing a moderately fine finish suitable for general-purpose deburring, shaping, and surface preparation. The file measures 8 inches in overall length, 25/32 inches wide, and 7/32 inches thick, with a tang end for use with a standard file handle. It is rated for use on stainless steel and similar hard materials. Machinists, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians commonly use Swiss-pattern files of this type for hand finishing and fitting work.

This file is suited for bench work, fabrication shops, and field maintenance tasks where controlled material removal is required. The Cut 2 double-cut pattern balances stock removal speed with surface finish quality, making it appropriate for fitting parts, cleaning weld seams, and refining machined edges. It works on stainless steel and can be used on other ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The rectangular shape allows access to flat surfaces and shallow slots. A separately purchased handle is recommended for safe use with the tang end.

Installation Notes

A licensed machinist, pipefitter, millwright, or experienced maintenance technician typically installs and uses files of this type during bench or field work. Always fit a properly sized handle onto the tang before use to prevent hand injury. Secure the workpiece in a vise or fixture before filing to maintain control and reduce the risk of slippage. Do not use a file as a pry bar or hammer; doing so can cause brittleness fractures and tool failure.
