Pferd Machinist File Set

Professional quality makes this product very versatile. Due to their high precision and cutting performance, these files meet the highest standards of quality and longevity.  This set comes in a rugged, weather-resistant PVC roll-up pouch for optimum protection. An indispensable item for the tool box of every mobile trades worker or fitter.

The set consists of one file each:

Hand File - Hand files have the same cross-sectional dimensions as the Flat File but is blunt in shape (no taper). Double cut, it has one safe (uncut) edge which permits filing one surface without damaging an adjoining one.

Three Square File - Three square files are triangular in cross-section, like tapers, but are double cut and have fairly sharp corners that are slightly set and cut. These files are for general use by machinists for filing internal angles more acute than the right angle.

Square File - Handy for use on slots, keyways, rectangular as well as square holes and for surface work. Double cut, it tapers toward the point

Tapered half Round File - These files are used for filing out concave surfaces and crevices, and for rounding out holes. The spiral cut enables them to remove metal rapidly and leaves a smooth finish.

Round File - This popular machinists file is designed for enlarging circular holes or rounded grooves that are too small for a half round file. It tapers toward the point making it adaptable for use on various size holes.
