SIMONDS 4" 1/2 ROUND FILE BASTARD CUT

Simonds’ half-round files feature a built-in "twist & roll" action on the half-round side. It leaves a super smooth finish on concave surfaces, while allowing a more natural filing motion in use. The flat side is Multi-Kut® for a wider range of applications.

FEATURES:

• Double-cut.
• Half-round design allows the file to be used effectively on convex and concave surfaces.

(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.
