Pferd 19611202 Swiss-pattern File 8 in Three Square Cut 0

Product Description

The PFERD 19611202 is a Swiss-pattern three square file designed for precision hand filing on metal workpieces. It measures 8 inches in overall length with a triangular cross-section that is 5/8 inches wide and 5/8 inches thick. The Cut 0 designation indicates a coarse-grade double-cut tooth pattern suited for fast material removal on softer metals and initial shaping passes. A tang end is included for use with a standard file handle. Licensed metalworkers, machinists, pipefitters, and maintenance trades use this file type for deburring, chamfering, and fitting work on ferrous and nonferrous materials including stainless steel.

This three square file is well suited for enlarging and squaring triangular openings, filing internal angles less than 90 degrees, and removing sharp edges on fabricated metal components. The triangular profile reaches into corners and slots that flat or round files cannot access. Cut 0 coarseness is appropriate for roughing work and situations where speed of stock removal matters more than final surface finish. It is a general-purpose bench file used in fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and field service environments by machinists, plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC sheet metal technicians.

Installation Notes

Always fit a proper file handle onto the tang before use to prevent hand injury from the exposed tang point. Secure the workpiece in a vise before filing to maintain control and consistent stroke direction. Files should be used with forward-stroke pressure only and lifted on the return stroke to preserve tooth life. Inspect the file and handle for cracks or looseness before each use session.
