Williams Comfort Products 1-160-08-2-0 Square File 8 in

Product Description

The WILLIAMS COMFORT PRODUCTS 1-160-08-2-0 is an 8-inch square file with a second-cut tooth pattern rated at 36 teeth per inch (TPI). Square files are used to enlarge or clean square and rectangular openings, slots, and keyways in metal workpieces. The second-cut classification places this file between a bastard cut and a smooth cut, removing material at a moderate rate while leaving a reasonably refined surface finish. Tradespeople working in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general maintenance rely on second-cut files for deburring, fitting, and shaping metal components during installation and repair work.

This file suits residential and light commercial trade applications where precise material removal is needed on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Common uses include cleaning burrs from conduit knockouts, fitting keyways on motor shafts, squaring up slots in brackets, and dressing metal edges before assembly. At 8 inches in length, it offers a practical balance between reach and control for bench work and field service tasks.

Key Features

• Second-cut tooth pattern at 36 TPI for moderate material removal with a refined finish
• Square profile for working slots, keyways, and rectangular openings
• 8-inch working length suited for bench and field use
• Lightweight at 0.176 pounds for extended hand use without fatigue

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose square file compatible with standard file handles. Suitable for use on ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals, and similar materials in trade service applications.

Installation Notes

Files should always be fitted with a proper handle before use to prevent injury from the tang. Secure the workpiece in a vise before filing to maintain control and produce accurate results. Never use a file as a pry bar or striking tool, as the hardened steel is brittle and can fracture. Inspect the file for cracks or a worn tang before each use.
