FLAT FILE
Universally used by all machinists; this file is recommended for fast stock removal where a smooth finish is
not required. It is double cut, uniform in width and thickness, however slightly tapering in width cross section in
the last third of the file approaching the point. All meet or exceed US Government specification GGG-F-325b.
The FLAT and MILL are simular except the MILL is single single cut and slightly thinner.
The FLAT and HAND are simular but the HAND is parallel in width with no taper and one edge is safe (uncut).
The FLAT FOUNDRY FILE is a FLAT file in every respect only very coarse in tooth cut. Used in foundries for filing slag
of sandstone off a ‘tree’ of products coming from a cast. Other files used for foundry work are Tungsten Carbide
Core Files.
