Pferd 19609204 Swiss-pattern Round File 8 Inches Cut 2

Product Description

The PFERD 19609204 is a Swiss-pattern round file designed for precision hand filing in metalworking and fabrication environments. With an 8-inch overall length and a Cut 2 tooth pattern, it delivers a standard level of precision suited for smoothing, deburring, and shaping workpieces. The round cross-section measures 5/16 inches in diameter and 5/8 inches in thickness, making it effective for filing internal curves, holes, and rounded profiles. A tang is included for use with a standard file handle. This file is specifically noted for material application on stainless steel, making it appropriate for maintenance machinists, pipefitters, and fabrication technicians who regularly work with harder alloys.

This file is well suited for trade and light industrial applications where hand finishing is required. Common install and use scenarios include deburring pipe ends, enlarging drilled holes, refining weld profiles, and shaping tight-radius internal features. The 8-inch length provides good control in bench vise or hand-held work. Stainless steel material application designation means the cutting geometry is appropriate for harder, work-hardening metals encountered in plumbing, HVAC fabrication, and food-service equipment repair.

Key Features

• Cut 2 tooth pattern provides standard-precision stock removal for general filing tasks
• Round file shape accesses internal curves, drilled holes, and cylindrical profiles
• 5/16-inch diameter cross-section suits narrow-radius work
• Tang design accepts standard aftermarket and OEM file handles
• Rated for stainless steel material application
• Compact 0.15-pound weight for extended hand use with reduced fatigue

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Swiss-pattern round file for use with any compatible tang-style file handle sold separately; suitable for hand filing operations on stainless steel and similar hard metals in fabrication, maintenance, and trade service work.

Installation Notes

Secure the tang into a properly sized file handle before use to prevent hand injury from an exposed tang. Always use the file with controlled forward strokes and lift on the return to preserve cutting edge life. Secure the workpiece in a bench vise when practical to maintain accuracy and prevent movement during filing. Inspect the file teeth for clogging and clean with a file card as needed to maintain cutting performance.
