File Bahco 6-344-10-2-2 Width 25 mm Length 250 mm

The Bahco 6-344-10-2-2 file is a precision hand tool with a working width of 25 mm and an overall length of 250 mm. Designed for shaping, smoothing and finishing a variety of materials, this file combines a rigid body with a finely cut surface to deliver consistent material removal and a predictable finish. The tool fits standard hand-filing techniques and is intended for tasks that require controlled stock removal and accurate surface preparation.

Advantages

This file offers a balanced combination of reach and control thanks to its 250 mm length and 25 mm width, allowing access to narrower areas while maintaining stability during use. The durable construction resists wear and preserves the cutting pattern for extended service life. Its tooth geometry ensures effective cutting performance across different materials, and the consistent profile makes it suitable for repeatable shaping and finishing operations.

Suitable for

• Deburring and smoothing metal edges
• Shaping and fitting joints in woodworking
• Finishing plastic components and composites
• Toolroom and workshop general filing tasks
• Hobbyist and DIY detail work

Key specifications

• Working width: 25 mm
• Overall length: 250 mm
• Type: hand file for general-purpose finishing
• Cut: fine-toothed surface for controlled material removal
• Construction: rigid steel body with precision-cut teeth

How to use

Use the file with steady, even strokes in the intended direction of cut, applying consistent pressure and maintaining the same angle to the workpiece for a uniform finish. Secure the workpiece in a vise or clamp to prevent movement and to ensure safe operation. Periodically clean filings from the teeth to maintain cutting efficiency, and inspect the file surface for wear or damage before use. For best results, pair the file with appropriate clamps and personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and gloves.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, choose the file when a narrow working width and precise control are required. Avoid excessive lateral pressure that can damage the tooth pattern; replace the file when teeth become blunt or when rusting compromises the cutting surface. Store the file in a dry place and keep it protected from knocks to preserve its profile and prolong service life.
