10" Round File (Bastard Cut)

This bastard cut on the 10" round file really grabs into wood without sliding around, and having teeth all the way around the circular shaft makes cleaning up tight notches surprisingly easy. I've already used it on a couple of curved cuts and it feels like it will last through many more projects.

I needed a file that could handle curved surfaces and this 10" round with bastard cut teeth does exactly that—the circular design lets me get into tight spots my flat files can't touch. It's noticeably coarser than a second cut, so it removes material fast on my wood projects.

The bastard cut on this round file bites into wood just right without clogging up. I used it to enlarge a hole in a pine board, and the circular shape made it easy to work from any angle.
