File Second Cut
A type of file known as a second cut file has finer teeth than a bastard cut file. It is applied to smooth, refine, and remove material from surfaces with greater accuracy. Here are some important details regarding a second cut file:
- Cut Type: A "second cut" refers to a file that is between a smooth cut and a bastard cut in terms of coarseness. It strikes a balance between surface finish and material removal. In comparison to a bastard cut file, a second cut file has smaller, more tightly spaced teeth.
- Teeth Pattern: A second cut file often has a single-cut teeth pattern, similar to a bastard cut file. Its surface is covered with rows of parallel teeth that run diagonally. The teeth only cut in one direction and are unidirectional.
- Application: Second cut files are frequently used for general-purpose filing activities as well as metallurgy, woodworking, and other sectors. They work well for achieving a modest level of surface finish, smoothing edges, and refining rough surfaces. After initial shaping or rough material removal using a bastard cut file, second cut files are frequently employed.
