Pferd 19602204 Swiss-pattern Pillar File 8 in Cut 2

Product Description

The PFERD 19602204 is a Swiss-pattern regular pillar file designed for precision metal filing and finishing work. It features a double-cut, Cut 2 tooth pattern on a rectangular cross-section, making it well suited for deburring, fitting, and surface refining tasks on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The file measures 8 inches in overall length, 9/16 inches wide, and 7/32 inches thick, with a tang end for use with a standard file handle. At 0.25 pounds, it is lightweight and easy to control during hand-filing operations. Machinists, toolmakers, and maintenance technicians reach for Swiss-pattern files when close-tolerance work demands consistent, repeatable stock removal.

This pillar file is intended for use on flat and slotted surfaces where a narrow, rectangular profile is required to access tight areas. Its Cut 2 double-cut tooth configuration provides a standard level of precision, removing material at a moderate rate while leaving a reasonably smooth finish. It is particularly effective on stainless steel and other hard alloys where controlled material removal is critical. Typical applications include fitting mating parts, cleaning up weld flash, refining keyways, and dressing jigs and fixtures in shop or field environments.

Key Features

• Swiss-pattern Cut 2 double-cut tooth geometry for controlled stock removal
• Rectangular pillar shape, 9/16 inches wide by 7/32 inches thick, accesses slots and confined areas
• 8-inch overall length balances reach and maneuverability
• Rated for use on stainless steel and other demanding material applications
• Tang end accepts standard file handles for secure, ergonomic grip
• Lightweight at 0.25 pounds for extended hand-filing tasks

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style Swiss-pattern replacement file compatible with standard file handles accepting a tang-style fitting; suitable for general machining, maintenance, and toolroom applications requiring a rectangular pillar profile.

Installation Notes

Always fit a properly sized handle onto the tang before use to prevent hand injuries. Secure the workpiece in a vise or fixture before filing. Use smooth, consistent strokes along the file length and avoid rocking the file, which can round off edges on precision surfaces. Inspect the file teeth regularly and use a file card to clear metal buildup that reduces cutting efficiency.
