About Files

Files, also known as American-pattern and machinists' files, are used to remove material quickly.

Precision files, also known as Swiss-pattern files, are made to exacting measurements to ensure smoothness and are useful for finishing delicate and intricate parts.

Rectangular Files

These files have a tang that fits into separate handle.

Integrated-Handle Rectangular Files

No need for a separate handle—these files have one built in.

Electrical-Insulating Rectangular Files

An insulated handle protects against shock from accidental contact with live electrical circuits. These files are tested to 1,000 volts to meet ASTM F1505.
