11071P - Pferd 10-Inch Round Machinist File with Handle, Cut 2

Pferd 10" Round Machinist's File with Handle – Cut 2

Equip your toolbox with the reliability of German engineering using the Pferd 11071P Round File. This 10-inch tool is engineered for precision and durability, making it a favorite among welders, machinists, and millwrights. The round cross-section is specifically designed for working on concave surfaces and circular openings, tasks where flat or square files simply cannot reach. Whether you are cleaning up a flame-cut hole, prepping a pipe end, or elongating a slot, this file delivers superior performance.

The file features a "Cut 2" rating, also known as a Second Cut. This semi-rough configuration strikes the perfect balance for most workshop environments. It is aggressive enough to shape steel and iron effectively but leaves a smoother finish than a standard bastard file, reducing the amount of secondary sanding or polishing required. The teeth are precision-cut to clear chips effectively, preventing loading and ensuring the file bites into the metal with every push.

Safety and ergonomics are prioritized with the inclusion of a sturdy handle. Many files are sold as bare blades, requiring the separate purchase and installation of a handle. The Pferd 11071P comes ready to use, with a handle that fits securely over the tang. This not only protects the operator's hand from the sharp tang but also improves leverage and directional control. The 3/8-inch diameter provides a rigid structure that resists bending under pressure, while the tapered point allows for detailed work in tighter spaces.
