Williams 1-143-06-1-2-5W Flat Mill File Bastard Cut 6 Inches

Product Description

The WILLIAMS COMFORT PRODUCTS 1-143-06-1-2-5W is a 6-inch flat mill file with handle, ground to a bastard cut and designed for general sharpening, deburring, and finishing work across a range of trade and shop applications. The single-cut file surfaces and edges deliver a consistent, smooth finish on metal workpieces. At 0.576 pounds, the file is lightweight enough for extended use without fatigue. It ships with a handle attached, so technicians and tradespeople can go straight to work without sourcing a separate grip. The bastard cut sits between coarse and second-cut grades, making it a practical all-around choice for material removal with moderate surface refinement.

This file is suited for sharpening and dressing tools and implements including spades, shovels, hoes, and scrapers. It also performs well in lathe polishing and deburring operations where a controlled, single-cut surface is needed. Electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general maintenance trades keep flat mill files on hand for light metalwork, burr removal from cut conduit or pipe, and edge cleanup on sheet stock. The flat geometry and bastard cut make it versatile across both ferrous and non-ferrous materials in residential and light commercial service environments.

Installation Notes

File work is performed by hand or in a lathe file rest and does not require power tools or specialized trade licensing. Secure workpieces firmly in a vise before filing to maintain control and prevent injury. Keep the file clean with a file card to prevent pinning, which can scratch the workpiece surface. Inspect the handle for a secure fit before each use.
