Square Files are precision hand tools specifically designed for filing square holes, slots, keyways, and sharp internal corners. With four flat cutting faces and a square cross-section, they provide controlled, even material removal while maintaining accurate 90-degree angles.
Manufactured from high-quality carbon steel or alloy steel and precision heat-treated, square files are widely used in machining workshops, mechanical assembly, tool and die making, and maintenance operations where dimensional accuracy is critical.
