Pferd 19602201 Swiss-pattern File 8in Cut 00 Regular Pillar

Product Description

The PFERD 19602201 is a Swiss-pattern regular pillar file designed for precision hand-filing work on metal components. At 8 inches overall length, it features a double-cut, Cut 00 tooth pattern, which produces a fine, smooth finish suited for close-tolerance fitting and finishing work. The rectangular cross-section measures 9/16 inches wide by 7/32 inches thick, giving it the narrow, flat profile characteristic of a pillar file. It ships with a tang end for use with a standard file handle. Machinists, toolmakers, and maintenance mechanics reach for this file when a standard-grade Swiss-pattern finish is required on stainless steel and similar materials.

This file is well suited for deburring, fitting, and finish-filing on stainless steel parts in maintenance, fabrication, and tool-and-die applications. The Cut 00 classification places it at the coarser end of the Swiss-pattern scale, making it appropriate for initial stock removal while still producing a controlled, even surface. The pillar shape allows access to slots, keyways, and narrow recesses where a wider flat file would not reach. It is sold and packaged individually.

Installation Notes

A licensed machinist or maintenance mechanic typically uses this file as part of bench work or in-field fitting tasks. Always seat the tang fully into a properly sized file handle before use to prevent hand injury. Secure the workpiece in a vise when possible to maintain control and consistent stroke pressure. Inspect the file teeth before use and replace if teeth are worn, clogged, or damaged.
