■ Single set of parallel, diagonal rows of teeth
■ Single-cut files are often used with light
pressure to produce a smooth surface finish
or to put a keen edge on knives, shears or
saws
■ 2 sets of diagonal rows of teeth
■ Second set of teeth cut in opposite diagonal
direction and on top of the first set
■ First set of teeth is known as the overcut,
second is known as upcut
■ Upcut is finer than overcut
■ Double-cut file is used with heavier pressure
than the single-cut and removes material
faster from the workpiece
■ Single cut teeth divided by angular
serrations into shorter cutting edges, which
free themselves readily from chips and
perform roughing and smoothing at the
same time
