How to choose
- Cut: bastard cut removes material quickly; second and smooth cuts finish. Match cut to the job—do not start with a smooth file on heavy stock.
- Shape: flat files for faces and edges; half-round for inside curves; warding for keyways and narrow slots; rasps for wood and soft non-metals.
- Length: 6–8 in. for bench control; 10–12 in. for longer strokes on large parts.
- Care: keep a file card handy; chalk the face on soft metals to reduce clogging; never use a file without a handle on tang-style files.
- Crew stock: a plant crib usually needs flat and half-round bastard in 8–10 in., plus a few wardings.
