Simonds Hand File, American Pattern, Single/Double Cut, Rectangular, Black Oxide Coating, Coarse, 10" Length, 31/32" Width, 3/16" Thickness Description Item Length String:10 Inches | Item Width String:31/32 Inches | Item Thickness String:3/16 Inches | Coarseness Rating:Coarse | Part Number:78188100 The Simonds coarse cut hand file is 10" long, has a handle, a black oxide coating, and a rectangular shape with double-cut American pattern teeth on one side and single-cut American pattern teeth on the other for smoothing and shaping straight surfaces. The double-cut teeth are for rapid material removal, and the single-cut teeth on the reverse side are for finishing, sharpening, and deburring. The file has no teeth on one edge to protect adjacent surfaces. The file's black oxide coating helps provide greater resistance to loading and rust than uncoated files. A paddle-shaped handle is forged on the end of the file for secure gripping.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.Simonds International manufactures tools for cutting and finishing.
