Pilník Bahco 6-342-08-2-2 plochý polookrúhly stredný zárez

The BAHCO file model 6-342-08-2-2 is a dual-profile hand file combining a flat face and a half-round face with a middle (second cut) tooth pattern. With a working width of 21 mm and a depth of 8 mm, this tool is intended for controlled material removal, shaping and finishing on metal, wood and some plastics. Its balanced weight of approximately 205 g provides stable handling for both light shaping and detail work.

Advantages

The flat/half-round geometry delivers versatility for both flat surfaces and curved contours without changing tools. The middle cut tooth pattern gives a finer, more controlled cut than coarse files, reducing the risk of aggressive material removal while producing a smooth surface suitable for follow-up sanding or polishing. Compact dimensions and moderate weight make the file easy to maneuver in confined spaces and for extended manual use.

Suitable for

• Shaping and smoothing small metal parts and edges
• Refining curves and radii on castings or forgings
• Light stock removal on wooden components and dowels
• Detail work on plastic housings and prototypes
• Deburring machined edges and fastener seats

Key specifications

• Profile: flat on one side, half-round on the other
• Cut: middle (second cut) for controlled, fine removal
• Working width: 21 mm
• Depth/thickness: 8 mm
• Weight: approximately 205 g
• Hand tool type: hand file for manual use

How to use

Secure the workpiece before filing to prevent movement. Hold the file by its handle and apply steady forward strokes with moderate pressure, using the full length of the file where possible for an even finish. For the flat face, keep the file aligned with the work surface to maintain flatness; for curved or internal radii use the half-round face and follow the contour with controlled strokes. Periodically brush the teeth to remove filings and maintain cutting performance. Avoid excessive side-to-side rocking that can wear the teeth unevenly.

Recommendations

Wear appropriate eye protection and gloves when filing. Match the middle-cut file to tasks requiring moderate material removal and a smooth finish; use coarser cuts for rapid stock removal and finer cuts for final finishing. Store the file dry and protected to prevent damage to the teeth and corrosion.
