Bahco 1-478-10-1-2 reszelő

The Bahco 1-478-10-1-2 file is a hand file designed for precise material removal and shaping on metal and wood. It combines a hardened, ground filing surface with an ergonomically profiled handle to deliver controlled cuts and consistent results. The tool is intended for tasks that require accuracy, such as finishing edges, deburring, fitting joints and refining profiles in small-scale metalwork and carpentry.

Advantages

The file offers a balanced combination of durable construction and tactile control. Its heat-treated filing surface maintains cutting performance over extended use, while the comfortable handle reduces hand fatigue during repetitive operations. The file’s geometry provides predictable stock removal and smooth finishing, supporting both coarse shaping and fine detailing without excessive clogging or uneven wear.

Suitable for

• Filing and shaping steel, iron and non-ferrous metals
• Trimming, smoothing and profiling wooden components
• Deburring cut edges and removing burrs from machined parts
• Fitting and adjusting joints in metalwork and carpentry

Key specifications

• Tool type: hand file for general-purpose metal and wood work
• Cut type: precision-ground teeth suitable for both shaping and finishing
• Material treatment: hardened and tempered filing surface for wear resistance
• Handle: ergonomically profiled grip designed for control and comfort
• Finish: smooth tang-to-handle transition to reduce chattering and improve handling

How to use

Select the appropriate cut and file geometry for the material and desired finish. Secure the workpiece in a clamp or vice to prevent movement. Hold the file by the handle with the other hand guiding the tip, apply even forward strokes and lift on the return stroke to avoid dulling the teeth. Use light, progressive passes to approach final dimensions and finish with finer strokes for a smooth surface. Clean the file teeth periodically with a brush to maintain cutting performance.

Recommendations

Use the file with steady, controlled strokes and appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and gloves. Match file cut and coarseness to the task: coarser cuts for rapid stock removal and finer cuts for finishing. Store the file in a dry place and protect the teeth from contact with other tools to preserve accuracy and service life.
