SIMONDS 6" SQUARE FILE BASTARD CUT

Ideal for slots and keyways. In addition, it works great on square holes and other general surface filing. Simonds’ square files feature an exclusive "wavy tooth" design.

FEATURES:

• Double-cut.
• Tapered slightly towards point.

(DOUBLE-CUT – Two sets of diagonal rows of teeth. Second set (upcut) cut in the opposite direction and on top of the first set (overcut). Upcut is finer than overcut. Double-cut file is used with heavier pressure than the single-cut and removes material faster from the workpiece.)

COARSENESS:

• Work to be accomplished, roughing or finishing, will determine teeth and coarseness for each application.
• Most American pattern files are available with 3 grades of cut: bastard cut, second cut, and smooth cut.
• The degree of coarseness is greater in longer files, but differences between bastard, second, and smooth are proportionate.
