Bastard Cut vs Second Cut: What's the Difference?
A bastard cut is the coarsest of the common file cuts, with widely spaced teeth that remove material fast. A second cut is finer, leaving a smoother finish but removing metal more slowly. Choose a bastard cut like the 82822H when your priority is speed — flash removal, shaping, and heavy stock reduction — then refine with a finer file or the file's single-cut edges.
What Is a Bastard Cut File Used For?
Bastard cut files excel at removing welding flash, deburring cast parts, squaring edges, and general metal shaping on machinery, engines, ships, and fabrication work.
How to Choose a File Cut
Match the cut to the task: coarse (bastard) for fast removal on soft metals and general repair; second cut for finishing; smooth cut for final polish. The GearWrench 82822H gives you double-cut faces for removal plus single-cut blades for refining — one file, both stages.
