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.

Double Cut

File slots, keyways, grooves, and corners with these four-sided tools. They have two sets of diagonal teeth. Files do not include a handle but do have a tang that fits into a handle. Length does not include the tang.
