Pferd 19602202 Swiss-pattern Pillar File 8 in Cut 0

Product Description

The PFERD 19602202 is a Swiss-pattern regular pillar file designed for precision hand filing on metal workpieces. It measures 8 inches in overall length, 9/16 inches wide, and 7/32 inches thick, with a rectangular cross-section suited to filing flat and pillar surfaces. The Cut 0 designation indicates a coarse-grade double-cut tooth pattern, which removes material efficiently while still delivering a controlled, even finish. The tang end accepts a standard file handle. This file is built for use on stainless steel and similar hard metals, making it a practical tool for machinists, tool-and-die workers, and fabricators who require consistent stock removal in tight applications.

Swiss-pattern files are common in maintenance, repair, and fabrication shops where close-tolerance hand work is required. The regular pillar shape is narrower than a flat file, allowing access to slots, keyways, and recessed flat surfaces that wider files cannot reach. Cut 0 coarseness is appropriate for initial material removal and deburring on harder alloys, including stainless steel. This file suits professional tradespeople and skilled machinists working in metal fabrication, industrial maintenance, and precision manufacturing environments.
