Pferd 19602152 Swiss-pattern File 6in Cut 0 Pillar

Product Description

The PFERD 19602152 is a Swiss-pattern pillar file designed for precision hand-filing work on metal and hard materials. It features a double-cut tooth pattern at Cut 0, the coarsest grade in the Swiss-pattern system, suited for rapid stock removal while still maintaining controlled surface contact. The rectangular cross-section measures 0.5 inches wide by 0.156 inches thick with a 6-inch working length and a standard tang for use with a compatible file handle. This file is rated for use on stainless steel and similar hard alloys. Machinists, tool-and-die workers, and maintenance technicians rely on this profile for deburring, fitting, and shaping tasks that require a narrow, flat working surface.

The regular pillar shape provides a flat face with parallel edges, making it well suited for filing slots, keyways, flat surfaces, and recessed areas where a wider flat file would be impractical. The Cut 0 grade is appropriate for fast material removal on ferrous and non-ferrous metals, including stainless steel. It is commonly found in machine shops, fabrication environments, and industrial maintenance settings where hand-filing to close tolerances is part of routine workflow.

Key Features

• Double-cut tooth pattern for efficient stock removal
• Cut 0 grade for aggressive material removal on hard metals
• Regular pillar profile with rectangular cross-section for narrow flat surfaces and slots
• Rated for use on stainless steel and comparable hard alloys
• Standard tang accepts most commercially available file handles
• 6-inch overall length suits bench and hand-held filing applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style Swiss-pattern pillar file compatible with standard file handles accepting a tapered tang. Intended for hand-filing applications on stainless steel and similar hard metal workpieces in machine shop and industrial maintenance settings.

Installation Notes

Always seat the tang fully into a properly sized file handle before use to prevent hand injury from an exposed tang. Inspect the file for cracks or missing teeth before each use and replace if damaged. Use appropriate personal protective equipment, including safety glasses and gloves, when filing metal. Files should never be used without a handle and should not be used to pry or strike workpieces.
