Pferd 19602151 Swiss Pattern File 6 in Cut 00 Pillar

Product Description

The PFERD 19602151 is a Swiss-pattern pillar file designed for precision filing work on metal components. It features a double-cut tooth pattern at Cut 00, which is the coarsest designation in the Swiss-pattern grading system, making it effective for rapid material removal on stainless steel and other hard metals. The regular pillar profile is rectangular in cross-section, measuring 0.5 inches wide and 0.156 inches thick, with a 6-inch overall length. It is fitted with a tang for use with a standard file handle. Machinists, tool-and-die workers, and metal fabricators are the primary users of this type of file.

This file is suited for bench work, deburring, and shaping tasks in machine shops, maintenance environments, and fabrication settings. The pillar shape allows access to slots, notches, and narrow recesses where a wider file cannot reach. The Cut 00 classification indicates an aggressive cut appropriate for stock removal rather than finish work. Stainless steel is listed as the primary material application, though the file can be used on other ferrous metals as well. It is sold individually.

Installation Notes

Always seat the tang fully into a properly sized file handle before use to prevent hand injury. Secure the workpiece in a vise before filing. File in controlled forward strokes and lift the file on the return stroke to preserve tooth life. Do not use this file on non-ferrous soft metals, as soft material loading will clog the teeth rapidly.
