Our take on the Hyper Tough 8-Inch Steel Mill Bastard File with Ergonomic Soft Grip, 2202V

The Hyper Tough 8-Inch Mill Bastard File is a single-cut steel file with a soft rubber grip, sized for shaping and sharpening metal edges. The mill bastard cut removes metal at a moderate rate and leaves a smoother finish than a coarse file, so it works for saw teeth, knives, axes and deburring flat or curved surfaces. It is a basic, low-cost hand tool rather than a precision file, and it suits occasional sharpening and general shop work more than fine toolmaking.

Questions and answers

What does mill bastard cut mean?
It is a single-cut file with a medium-coarse tooth that removes metal at a moderate rate and leaves a reasonably smooth surface. It sits between a coarse file and a smooth file.
Can it sharpen a chainsaw chain?
Yes, an 8-inch mill bastard file is a common size for touching up saw teeth, though very hard or damaged chains may need a dedicated sharpening file.
Does it work on wood?
It is made for metal. On wood it clogs quickly and leaves a rough surface, so a wood rasp is the better tool.
Is it single or double cut?
It is single cut, with teeth in one direction, which gives a smoother finish but slower stock removal than a double-cut file.
What is the file length?
It is 8 inches long, a common size for hand sharpening and general shop work.
