Made from beryllium copper, these files won’t create sparks as you smooth and shape workpieces. They’re also nonmagnetic. They help you meet OSHA requirements for using nonsparking tools in areas where flammable vapor or combustible residue are present. These files have two sets of diagonal teeth for rapid material removal. The handle is coated in rubber to cushion your grip. Length does not include the handle.

Keep multiple files on hand for workpieces of different shapes and sizes.

All sets include American-pattern files, also known as machinists' files. Some sets also include Swiss-pattern files, which create more consistent finishes than American-pattern files. They have a round or tear drop shape.

Double Cut—Surface has two sets of diagonal teeth and is often used with heavier pressure than single cut for rapid material removal.

Single Cut—Surface has one set of diagonal teeth and is often used with light pressure to slowly remove material and sharpen tool-cutting surfaces.

Single Cut with Chip Breaker—Speed up reaching a fine finish. They remove material as quickly as double-cut files while leaving behind a smooth finish at the same time. They have single-cut teeth divided by diagonal cutting edges that act as chip breakers—the chip breakers rough the surface while the single-cut teeth smooth it.

Files with steel handles have a single-piece construction. Files with rubber handles have a cushioned, comfortable grip. Files with wood handles have a durable grip that's shaped to fit comfortably in your hand.

Files with a black-oxide finish resist rust and clogging.
