Keep agricultural tools and workshop projects in shape with the Benchmark Abrasives 8" Farmer’s Own File (Second Cut). Single-cut and double-cut faces let you switch between stock removal and finishing with one file. One face features a double-cut pattern for faster stock removal, while the opposite face uses a single-cut pattern for more controlled filing and finishing. The second-cut grade provides a finer cut than bastard grade, making this file a balanced choice when you want useful material removal without the coarseness of a bastard-cut file.

Agricultural tool maintenance
General stock removal
Edge cleanup and refinement
Fitting and adjustment
Surface finishing
Workshop and repair tasks
General-purpose hand filing
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.
Inspect the file and handle before use.
Never strike a file or use it as a pry bar, hammer, punch, or other impact tool.
Keep the teeth clean and remove trapped chips or pinning as needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
A Farmer’s Own file is a versatile hand file commonly used for general filing and agricultural tool maintenance. This design combines two tooth patterns so one file can handle both stock removal and more controlled finishing.
One face uses a double-cut tooth pattern for faster stock removal, while the opposite face uses a single-cut pattern for more controlled filing and finishing.
Second cut refers to the file’s relative coarseness. It is finer than bastard cut, making it useful when you want good material removal with a more controlled finish.
Use the double-cut face for stock removal and the single-cut face for finishing. Ease up on pressure as you approach the final shape.
No. This is a hand file for manual use. It is not designed to mount in an air saw or powered filing tool.
Yes. Along with agricultural tool maintenance, it is useful for fitting parts, cleaning up edges, and general hand filing.
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.
Choose the 8" size for everyday filing when you want a balance of control and reach. Match the file profile to the surface you need to work on.
