uxcell High Carbon Hardened Steel Flat Mill File, 12-Inch

Longevity and strength are ensured by the high carbon steel construction of this versatile mill file. Designed for a range of applications in metal, plastic, and wood, the second-cut grade is excellent for deburring, shaping, and sharpening. The double-cut teeth create a smooth finish on interior contours and holes, while the precision-milled, tempered, and coated teeth provide durable cutting and good performance.

A large, comfortable handle gives you a sure grip for controlled strokes and pressure, allowing for better control and handling, both for contoured and ergonomic handhold. The color of the file is a natural result of the higher carbon content and tempering, adding to its overall strength and durability.

This mill file is suitable for use in garages, factories, engineering workshops, and DIY projects. However, it is important to note that this file should not be used on hardened steel, as it will quickly ruin the file. Similarly, diamond-embedded files should not be used on soft materials, including many soft steels, as this can cause the diamonds to be torn out.

To maintain the file's performance, it is recommended to clean out any bits of file metal with a stiff wire brush and apply a small amount of lard or oil to the teeth. This helps to reduce friction, prevent the formation of pins in the teeth, and provide rust protection for both the file and the workpiece.

In summary, this high-quality mill file offers a combination of longevity, strength, and versatility, making it a valuable tool for a wide range of metalworking, woodworking, and DIY applications. Its precision-engineered features and easy-to-grip handle ensure smooth, controlled performance, while proper maintenance and care will help extend the life of the tool.
