Williams Comfort Products 2-301-16-1-0 Flat File

Product Description

The WILLIAMS COMFORT PRODUCTS 2-301-16-1-0 is a second-cut flat file measuring 6.25 inches in length. Flat files in the second-cut grade remove material at a moderate rate while leaving a smoother surface than a bastard-cut file, making them a reliable choice for deburring, fitting, and finishing metal components. This file suits technicians who need controlled material removal on ferrous and non-ferrous metals during installation, fabrication, or service work across HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical trades.

Second-cut flat files are commonly used in field and shop settings where a technician needs to clean up burrs on pipe ends, fit sheet metal flanges, dress valve seats, or smooth rough edges on brackets and mounting hardware. The 6.25-inch length is a compact, hand-tool size suited for close-quarters work and general bench use alike.

Key Features

• Second-cut tooth pattern for moderate material removal with a smoother finish than bastard cut
• Flat profile accommodates flat and slightly curved workpiece surfaces
• Compact 6.25-inch length for use in tight spaces and general bench work
• Suitable for use on ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals, and similar materials

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose hand file for use across trade applications including HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and mechanical service work where flat filing and deburring are required.

Installation Notes

Files should be used with a proper handle installed to prevent injury from the tang. Always secure the workpiece in a vise or with an appropriate clamp before filing. Wear safety glasses during all filing operations. Files are single-use-direction tools — apply pressure on the forward stroke only and lift on the return stroke to preserve tooth sharpness.
