file/rasp PFERD 11235306 Width 30 mm Length 300 mm

The BrightSign file/rasp PFERD 11235306 is a half-round pointed file designed for precise material removal and shaping. With a working width of 30 mm and a total length of 300 mm, this tool features cutting surfaces on two sides and a tang for fitting a handle. Shape E according to DIN 7261 makes it suited for work on radii and half-round profiles. The file is suitable for manual use on a wide range of metals and cast materials, offering controlled stock removal for deburring, finishing and enlarging or shaping holes.

Advantages

The double-cut half-round geometry provides balanced cutting action and predictable material removal. The tang-equipped version allows secure attachment of a handle for safe manual operation. The 30 mm width and 300 mm length deliver a compromise between reach and control, enabling access into curved surfaces while maintaining stability. Hardened and accurately rasp-cut teeth ensure consistent performance across the file face.

Suitable for

• Deburring edges and removing burrs from machined parts
• Filing and shaping half-round profiles and radii
• Enlarging or cleaning out drilled or punched holes
• General surface work and finishing on metal components

• Suitable materials: aluminium, bronze, copper, brass, zinc, soft and hard non-ferrous metals, grey and nodular cast iron, cast steel, steels up to 1,200 N/mm² (< 38 HRC)

How to use

Fit a suitable handle onto the tang before use. Hold the file with firm, even pressure and move it in long, consistent strokes along the workpiece in the filing direction. Use the rounded side of the half-round file for radii and curved surfaces and the flat side for surface-level work. Avoid excessive pressure to prevent chatter and uneven removal; maintain a steady feed and check progress frequently to achieve the required shape and surface finish.

Usage recommendations

Keep the file clean by brushing chips out of the teeth regularly to maintain cutting efficiency. For best results on harder materials, use lighter passes and inspect workpiece hardness to ensure it falls within the file’s recommended capability. Store the file dry and protected to prevent damage to teeth and avoid contact with other tools.
