File Set with Ergonomic Handle Pouched - 5 Piece

Hand files are used to remove material and smooth and shape workpieces. They have forward-facing cutting teeth and cut when pushed over either a stationary or rotating workpiece. Single-cut teeth are single rows cut diagonally across the width of the file. Double-cut teeth have two sets of rows cut in opposite directions. American pattern files have three coarseness grades. Coarse also known as bastard cut is suitable for efficient heavy material removal where finish is not a concern. Medium also known as second cut offers average material removal and finish quality. Fine also known as smooth cut provides the smoothest finish. Swiss pattern files have eight coarseness grades from 00 (coarse) 0 (medium) and 1 to 6 (fine to finest) offering a smoother finish than equivalent American pattern files. For Swiss pattern files the length of the tool is the length of the blade not counting the tang which is the pointed end fitted for a handle; for American pattern files the length of the tool is its entire length including the tang.
