Draper Hand File

This 12" (300mm) Bastard Cut Hand File is the longest coarse-grade option available, designed for substantial metalworking tasks requiring maximum reach and aggressive material removal. The 300mm length excels when working on large fabrications, extended surfaces, and applications demanding long, consistent filing strokes for superior flatness and straightness. The bastard (coarse) cut provides rapid stock removal capabilities essential for heavy-duty engineering work, including preparation of large castings, structural metalwork, and general fabrication tasks. Manufactured from carbon chrome steel that's been hardened and tempered, this file delivers reliable performance throughout its working life. The one safe edge feature enables precise filing against shoulders and into corners without damaging adjacent surfaces. Protected by a rust preventative finish and dipped in protective oil, this file maintains its condition even in demanding workshop environments. Supplied in a pack of 6.
