## Description

The Simonds flat hand file has a rectangular shape with single-cut American pattern chip-breaking teeth on both sides for smoothing and shaping straight surfaces. The file tapers slightly toward the point in width to ease access into slots. It has single-cut teeth with a diamond pattern that break chips for rapid material removal with a smooth finish. The tang can be used with an optional handle for secure gripping (sold separately). Hand files are used to remove material and smooth and shape workpieces. They have forward-facing cutting teeth and cut when pushed over either a stationary or rotating workpiece. Single-cut teeth are single rows cut diagonally across the width of the file. Double-cut teeth have two sets of rows cut in opposite directions. American pattern files have three coarseness grades. Coarse, also known as bastard cut, is suitable for efficient, heavy material removal where finish is not a concern. Medium, also known as second cut, offers average material removal and finish quality. Fine, also known as smooth cut, provides the smoothest finish. Swiss pattern files have eight coarseness grades, from 00 (coarse), 0 (medium), and 1 to 6 (fine to finest), offering a smoother finish than equivalent American pattern files. For Swiss pattern files the length of the tool is the length of the blade, not counting the tang, which is the pointed end fitted for a handle; for American pattern files the length of the tool is its entire length, including the tang.Simonds International manufactures tools for cutting and finishing. The company, founded in 1832, is headquartered in Fitchburg, MA.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Just file it
*by V***E on January 4, 2018*

This is one of the most versatile hand files on the bench. It is the "go to" file. Now going on 40 years and still cuts having sustained every type of metal, wood, Teflon, plastics, epoxies, fiberglass. I still can't believe the performance/quality. The file is 10" although other sizes are available.Being an older manufactured file, let's hope the newer ones are of the same quality.This item is tool money well spent.
