12" American Pattern Flat Bastard
(Pack of
1.0)
The American Pattern Flat Bastard File is the ultimate tool for machinists and repairmen tackling tough materials. Crafted from premium chromium alloy steel and hardened to 65Rc, it guarantees durability and efficiency. Its double-cut sides and single-cut edges provide rapid metal removal, while the slight taper in width and thickness offers precision in every stroke. The lacquer coating prevents rust, and a ductile core minimizes file breakage, allowing you to work confidently and efficiently on iron and steel surfaces.
For safety reasons and to prevent possible OSHA violations, a tanged file should never be used without a tight-fitting handle.
A handle will not only help prevent accidents, it helps make the job easier and more enjoyable.
Measured from the base of the tang to the tip.
