Remove stock and clean up larger flat surfaces with the Benchmark Abrasives 10" Flat File (Bastard Cut). Its broad filing face and double-cut teeth make it a practical choice for edge fitting, deburring, and fabrication work. The bastard-cut grade delivers relatively coarse cutting action, while the double-cut tooth pattern helps remove material faster than a comparable single-cut file. The longer 10" size provides added filing area and reach for fabrication, maintenance, and repair work.

Product Features
Flat profile is ideal for flat surfaces, straight edges, and general fitting work.
Bastard-cut grade provides coarse cutting action for efficient stock removal.
Double-cut tooth pattern supports faster material removal.
10" nominal length provides greater reach and filing area for larger workpieces.
Suitable for shaping, fitting, deburring, and surface correction.
Designed for manual hand filing.
Applications & Performance
The 10" Flat File is designed primarily for general stock removal on flat work. Its longer body and double-cut tooth pattern make it well suited for larger surfaces and jobs where efficient material removal is the priority.
Common applications include:
General-purpose hand filing
Stock removal from flat surfaces
Edge fitting and adjustment
Surface correction
Deburring and cleanup
Fabrication and maintenance work
General repair applications
For ordinary filing, apply controlled pressure on the forward stroke and reduce pressure during the return stroke.
Safety Tips
Secure the workpiece on a bench or in a vise instead of holding it in the palm of your hand.
Wear appropriate eye protection and other PPE required for the material and task.
Use a securely fitted handle on a tanged file. Inspect the file and handle before use, and replace damaged handles.
Never strike a file or use it as a pry bar, hammer, punch, or other impact tool.
Keep the teeth clean and remove trapped metal chips or pinning as needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
A 10" flat file is designed primarily for flat surfaces and straight edges. It is useful for general stock removal, fitting, deburring, and surface correction on larger workpieces.
Bastard cut refers to a relatively coarse file grade intended for efficient material removal. It is coarser than second cut.
A double-cut file has intersecting rows of teeth that generally remove material faster than a comparable single-cut design.
A longer file provides more filing surface and reach, making it useful for larger workpieces and broader surfaces. File size should still be selected together with the required cut grade and level of control.
Yes. This file is designed primarily for general stock removal on flat work, including straight edges and broad surfaces.
No. This is a hand file for manual use. It is not designed to mount in an air saw or powered filing tool.
Apply controlled cutting pressure on the forward stroke and reduce pressure during the return stroke. This helps maintain effective cutting action while limiting unnecessary wear.
Bastard describes tooth coarseness; double cut describes the crossing tooth pattern. This file combines both for efficient stock removal.
