Hand files are used to remove material and smooth and shape work pieces. They have forward, facing cutting teeth and cut when pushed over either a stationary or rotating work piece. Different types of files are available. You can choose them as per your requirement. Single, cut teeth are single rows cut diagonally across the width of the file. Double, cut teeth have two sets of rows cut in opposite directions. American pattern files have three coarseness grades. Coarse, also known as bastard cut, is suitable for efficient, heavy material removal where finish is not a concern. Medium, also known as second cut, offers average material removal and finish quality. Fine, also known as smooth cut, provides the smoothest finish.

For Swiss pattern files the length of the tool is the length of the blade, not counting the tang, which is the pointed end fitted for a handle; for American pattern files the length of the tool is its entire length, including the tang.
