Flat metal file MODECO MN-66-141 250 mm, grade 2 is a hand file designed for shaping, deburring and finishing of ferrous and non-ferrous metals. With a 250 mm working length and a grade 2 medium-coarse cut, this flat file offers balanced material removal and surface control on flat faces and edges. It is intended for workshop, maintenance and hobby use where reliable, repeatable filing performance is required.

Advantages

The flat profile and medium-coarse grade 2 teeth provide efficient stock removal while maintaining a stable filing action. A 250 mm length gives a useful stroke for larger surfaces without sacrificing control on smaller details. The tool is compatible with standard file handles for safe, ergonomic use and allows precise deburring and edge dressing on a variety of metals.

• Profile: flat
• Cut grade: grade 2 (medium-coarse)

How to use

Secure the workpiece before filing to prevent movement. Fit a compatible handle to the tang of the file for a comfortable, controlled grip. Use steady, even strokes in the direction of the file’s cut, applying consistent pressure; lift the file on the return stroke if using a single-cut technique. Check progress frequently and remove filings from the teeth with a wire brush to maintain cutting performance.

Usage recommendations

For best results, select the grade 2 flat file when medium-coarse material removal with reasonable surface finish is required. Combine with a finer file or abrasive cloth for final smoothing. Store the file dry and brush clean after use to preserve tooth sharpness and prevent corrosion.
