OSTEQ Steel File Triangular Bastard w/ Handle

Work to be accomplished, whether roughing or finishing, will determine type of teeth and coarseness for each application.
Most American pattern files are available with 3 grades of cut: bastard-cut, second-cut and smoothcut.
The degree of coarseness is greater in longer files, but differences between bastard, second and smooth are proportionate
- 2 sets of diagonal rows of teeth
- Second set of teeth cut in opposite diagonal direction and on top of the first set
- First set of teeth is known as the overcut, second is known as upcut
- Upcut is finer than overcut
- Double-cut file Is used with heavier pressure than the single-cut and removes material faster from the workpiece
