American pattern files are large-sized files with uniform cuts. They are primarily used for fast, controlled removal of material for shaping, deburring, and finishing applications. Key files are small files for light, delicate filing tasks, especially in tool- and die-making. Also commonly used on locks and keys, they are well-suited for electricians, mechanics and anyone engaged in precision work. Hand files have the same cross-sectional dimensions as the Flat File but is blunt in shape (no taper). Double cut, it has one safe (uncut) edge which permits filing one surface without damaging an adjoining one.
