The Facom Half Round Second Cut File is an essential tool for professional engineers and home workshop enthusiasts who require a reliable instrument for material removal and precision shaping. With a 200 mm length and a durable second-cut tooth pattern, it offers an excellent balance between aggressive filing and fine surface finishing. While highly effective on metals and dense materials, users should note that the second-cut grade is not intended for heavy-duty stock removal compared to bastard-cut files, making it a specialized choice for intermediate work.

Second cut refers to the coarseness of the teeth; it is medium-fine, meant for finishing work after the initial material has been removed by a coarser file.

The handle is designed for durability and is not intended to be removed; it is permanently fixed for safety.
