About Files
Files, also known as American-pattern and machinists' files, are used to remove material quickly.
Precision files, also known as Swiss-pattern files, are made to exacting measurements to ensure smoothness and are useful for finishing delicate and intricate parts.

Files for Plastics, Laminates, and Fiberglass
Extra-sharp teeth cut quickly. These files do not include a handle but do have a tang that fits into a handle. Length does not include the tang.
Single Cut—Surface has one set of diagonal teeth and is often used with light pressure to slowly remove material.
Rapid Cut—Diamond-shaped teeth quickly remove material.
