File C.K Tools T0106 06 Second Cut for Metal and Wood

The C.K Tools T0106 06 second-cut file is made from high carbon steel that has been hardened and tempered for increased strength and durability. It features a two-component handle with a soft-grip outer and a solid core to provide better control and safety during use. The file has a bastard (second) cut on one face for general shaping and smoothing of wood and a coarser cut on the other face suitable for removing material from wood or metal.

Advantages

The hardened, tempered high carbon steel blade ensures long service life and consistent cutting performance. The two-component handle combines a comfortable soft grip with a rigid core for improved handling, safety and control. Dual-cut faces (second cut and coarse cut) make the tool versatile for both fine shaping and faster material removal on wood and metal.

How to use

Secure the workpiece before filing. Hold the file by the handle with one hand and guide the tip with the other hand. Apply even forward strokes in the direction of the file’s teeth, lifting slightly on the return stroke to avoid dulling. Use the second-cut face for controlled shaping and smoothing, and the coarse face when faster material removal is required. Clean the file teeth regularly with a file card or brush to maintain cutting efficiency.

Recommendations

Wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and gloves. Use the file on materials within its intended scope (wood and metal) and avoid excessive lateral pressure to prevent blade damage. Store the file in a dry place to prevent corrosion.
