File Bahco 168-COMBI-4.0-6922 Length 200 mm

The Bahco 168-COMBI-4.0-6922 file is a 200 mm hand file designed for general metalworking and finishing tasks. It combines multiple cutting surfaces to allow rapid stock removal and smoother finishing without changing tools. The file has an ergonomic profile intended to improve grip and control during extended use, and its durable construction supports repeated workshop and job-site applications.

Advantages

This 200 mm combination file integrates coarse and fine cutting faces to speed up material removal and refine surfaces in a single tool. The ergonomic handle shape reduces hand fatigue and improves control when filing along edges or across surfaces. Made from wear-resistant steel and finished to maintain cutting geometry, the file offers prolonged service life and consistent performance in metal, plastic and other soft materials.

Suitable for

• Shaping and deburring metal parts in workshop repairs
• Fitting and finishing edges on plastic and composite components
• General filing tasks in automotive, plumbing and maintenance work

Key specifications

• Overall length: 200 mm
• Multiple cutting surfaces: combination of coarse and fine teeth
• Material: heat-treated, wear-resistant steel
• Handle: ergonomic profile for improved grip and control
• Typical applications: stock removal and surface finishing on metal and soft materials

How to use

Secure the workpiece firmly in a vice or clamp before filing. Hold the file by the handle with one hand and steady the tip or spine with the other hand to guide strokes. Apply even forward pressure on the cutting stroke and lift for the return stroke to preserve the teeth. For the initial shaping use the coarser surface, then switch to the finer face for finishing passes. Use long, overlapping strokes along the same direction for an even surface.

Recommendations

Keep the file clean with a file card or brush to prevent clogging and maintain cutting efficiency. Store the file in a dry place and avoid prolonged exposure to moisture to reduce corrosion. Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and gloves when filing, and select the tooth pattern suitable for the material being worked.
