Pferd 19609202 Swiss-pattern Round File 8 in Cut 0

Product Description

The PFERD 19609202 is a Swiss-pattern round file designed for precision hand-filing work in metal fabrication, maintenance, and toolroom applications. At 8 inches overall length with a Cut 0 coarseness rating, this file removes material efficiently on softer passes while maintaining standard-grade precision. The round cross-section measures 5/16 inches in diameter and 5/8 inches at its thickest point, making it well-suited for filing circular openings, curved surfaces, and contoured workpieces. It features a tang end for use with a standard file handle. Rated for stainless steel material application, it holds up to the demands of harder ferrous work.

This file is appropriate for use in HVAC fabrication, pipefitting, plumbing rough-in, and general metalworking where tight tolerances or curved profiles require hand deburring, shaping, or finishing. The round profile is commonly used to enlarge holes, smooth bore edges, and work internal radii. Electricians and pipefitters reach for this style when fitting conduit knockouts or preparing pipe ends. At 8 inches OAL, it fits comfortably in standard file handles available at most trade supply counters.

Key Features

• Cut 0 coarseness for efficient material removal on standard-precision work
• Round file profile sized at 5/16 inches diameter for internal bore and curved-surface work
• Rated for stainless steel material application
• Tang end accepts standard aftermarket file handles
• 8 inches overall length suits most bench and field hand-filing tasks

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style Swiss-pattern round file suitable for use with standard file handles sized for tang-end files in the 8-inch class.

Installation Notes

Install a properly sized file handle onto the tang before use to prevent hand injury from the exposed tang point. Always file with controlled strokes away from the body and secure the workpiece in a vise when possible. Wear appropriate eye protection when filing metal, particularly stainless steel, which can produce fine metallic particles. No power tools or codes apply to hand-file use, but standard shop safety practices should be followed.
