Viila Bahco 1-160-10-1-2 paino 212 g pituus 250 mm

The Bahco 1-160-10-1-2 file is a hand file engineered for precision material removal and finishing. With a length of 250 mm and a weight of 212 g, this file combines a compact size with balanced handling for controlled strokes. Its hardened, ground surface provides consistent cutting action for shaping and smoothing metal and wood surfaces. The ergonomic profile supports a secure grip and reduces hand fatigue during extended use.

Advantages

This Bahco file offers durable construction and uniform tooth patterning that sustain cutting performance over repeated use. The moderate length and weight make it versatile for both detailed work and general filing tasks. The ergonomic design improves user control and helps maintain a steady filing angle, while the tempered material resists premature wear for longer service life.

Suitable for

• Shaping and smoothing metal edges and joints
• Refining wooden components and trim work
• Deburring machined parts and removing burrs
• General workshop filing and maintenance tasks

Key specifications

• Total length: 250 mm
• Weight: 212 g
• Type: hand file for precision filing
• Material: hardened and tempered steel file surface
• Surface: ground and cut for consistent tooth pattern
• Handle: ergonomic profile suitable for secure grip

How to use

Secure the workpiece in a vise or clamp to prevent movement. Hold the file with a comfortable grip using both hands — one at the handle and the other guiding near the tip — and apply steady, even strokes along the workpiece following the intended contour. Use light to moderate pressure to avoid removing excessive material; the cutting action occurs on the forward stroke for typical single-cut and double-cut files. Periodically clear filings with a wire brush to maintain cutting efficiency and check the surface until the desired finish or shape is achieved.

Recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and gloves. Match the file type and cut to the material and task: finer cuts for finish work and coarser cuts for rapid material removal. Store the file in a dry place and avoid contact with other tools to preserve the tooth pattern and prevent corrosion.
