Swiss Pattern File by Grobet 5-1/2 inch Cut 2 Set of 6 Hand Files

Description

Product Overview

The Grobet Swiss Pattern File set is a meticulously engineered collection of five hand files designed for precision work across a range of materials. Each file—equalling, barrette, three square, half round, and round—is forged from high‑carbon steel, a material known for its exceptional hardness, wear resistance, and ability to retain a sharp cutting edge over prolonged use. The 5‑1/2 inch cutting length provides ample surface area for efficient material removal while maintaining control in tight spaces. The files feature a smooth, ergonomic handle that reduces hand fatigue during extended sessions, and the Swiss pattern tooth geometry ensures consistent chip removal and a fine finish. Detailed specifications include a weight of 1.94 ounces per file, package dimensions of 8.27 x 3.39 x 0.59 inches, and a part number 31.67601, reflecting Grobet’s commitment to quality and traceability.

Usage

These files excel in a variety of professional and hobbyist environments. Metalworkers appreciate the high‑carbon steel construction for shaping and deburring steel, aluminum, and brass components, while woodworkers rely on the precise tooth patterns to smooth joints, shape dowels, and refine intricate details. The diverse file shapes allow users to tackle curved surfaces, internal corners, and flat planes with equal confidence. Whether you are restoring vintage machinery, crafting custom furniture, or performing detailed model work, the Swiss Pattern File set adapts to the task, delivering consistent results without the need for multiple tool changes. The set is also suitable for automotive repair, jewelry fabrication, and educational workshops where durability and accuracy are paramount.
