Williams Comfort Products 1-160-10-3-0 Square File 10 in

Product Description

The WILLIAMS COMFORT PRODUCTS 1-160-10-3-0 is a 10-inch square file designed for smooth-cut material removal at 41 teeth per inch (TPI). Square files are used to enlarge square or rectangular openings, clean up right-angle corners, and dress slots and keyways in metal, plastic, or wood. At a smooth-cut rating, this file removes material gradually and leaves a finer surface finish than bastard or second-cut files — making it appropriate for finishing work and tight-tolerance fitting tasks. At 0.359 pounds, it is a lightweight hand tool suitable for bench work and field use by machinists, pipefitters, and general-trade technicians.

This square file is suited for trade and maintenance applications where precision filing is required in confined or right-angle spaces. Common uses include deburring pipe ends, fitting keyways, cleaning threaded recesses, and dressing mating surfaces during mechanical assembly or repair. Its smooth-cut tooth pattern makes it a finishing tool rather than a roughing tool, used after coarser files have established the basic shape or dimension.

Key Features

• 10-inch file length for reach into recesses and slots
• Square cross-section geometry for right-angle corner work
• 41 TPI smooth-cut tooth pattern for fine surface finishing
• Lightweight at 0.359 pounds for extended hand use
• Sold as individual unit (each)

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose smooth-cut square file suitable for hand-filing applications in metal, plastic, and wood across mechanical, plumbing, and general trade maintenance work.

Installation Notes

Square files are hand tools requiring no power source or trade licensing, but safe file handling requires a properly fitted handle to prevent palm injury from the tang. Always secure the workpiece in a vise before filing. File in one direction only — on the forward stroke — and lift the file on the return stroke to preserve tooth life and prevent workpiece gouging.
