Hand File MEGA 69104 — metalworking file 250 x 24.5 x 6.3 mm, #2

MEGA 69104 is a hand file for metalworking with dimensions 250 x 24.5 x 6.3 mm and cut size #2, intended for shaping, deburring and finishing metal edges and surfaces. The flat profile and moderate length provide accessible reach and control for general filing tasks, fitting operations and light material removal in workshop and maintenance environments. The file combines a balanced cut aggressiveness with a profile suited to flat surfaces and edges.

Advantages

The flat hand file delivers consistent material removal with a medium (#2) cut that is suitable for smoothing, leveling and refining metalwork without excessive stock loss. Its compact length offers good leverage and control for one-handed or two-handed use, while the slim width enables access to narrower gaps and edge work. The file’s geometry supports uniform filing strokes and reduces the likelihood of unintended gouging when used correctly.

Suitable for

• Shaping and smoothing steel, iron and non-ferrous metals
• Deburring edges after cutting or shearing
• Fitting and adjusting mating parts in workshops
• Light material removal and surface preparation before welding or painting

Key specifications

• Overall length: 250 mm
• Working width: 24.5 mm
• Thickness: 6.3 mm
• Cut size: medium (#2)
• Profile: flat
• Intended material: metal (steel, iron, non-ferrous metals)

How to use

Secure the workpiece firmly in a vise or clamp. Hold the file by the handle with one hand and support the tip with the other hand for controlled strokes. Apply even pressure on the forward stroke and relieve pressure on the return stroke to maintain the cutting action and prolong tool life. Work with consistent, overlapping strokes along the surface or edge, checking progress frequently to avoid over-filing. Keep the file clean from filings by brushing the teeth regularly.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use the flat MEGA hand file with appropriate personal protective equipment, including safety glasses and gloves, and pair it with a suitable handle to improve grip and reduce fatigue. Regularly clear filings and inspect the file for wear; replace if teeth become blunt or damaged to maintain effective cutting and surface finish.
