Vijl Bahco 168-COMBI-4.8-6920 lengte 200 mm

The BAHCO file 168-COMBI-4.8-6920 Length 200 mm is a precision hand file engineered for controlled material removal on metal, wood and other common workshop materials. With an overall length of 200 mm and a 4.8 mm nominal thickness, this tool is intended for fine shaping, deburring and finishing tasks where accuracy and consistent surface quality are required. The file combines durable hardened steel with a well-shaped tang and grip to provide stable handling during repetitive use.

Advantages

This file offers consistent tooth geometry for even cutting action and predictable stock removal. Its hardened and tempered body increases wear resistance and maintains cutting performance over extended use. The ergonomic profile and tang design improve control and reduce hand fatigue during precise filing operations. The compact 200 mm length allows access to tighter areas while still providing sufficient reach for small to medium jobs.

Suitable for

• Shaping and smoothing metal edges and profiles
• Deburring machined parts and cut edges
• Precision wood fitting and small carpentry adjustments
• Hobbyist model work and tool maintenance

Key specifications

• Length: 200 mm (overall working length)
• Nominal thickness/profile: 4.8 mm
• Tooth type: combi-style tooth pattern for balanced cutting and finishing
• Material: hardened and tempered steel body
• Handle/tang: shaped tang for attachment to a handle or use with a protective sleeve

How to use

Use the file by securing the workpiece in a vise or clamp to prevent movement. Hold the tang or fitted handle with one hand and steady the file with the other, applying even forward strokes along the workpiece surface; avoid excessive pressure on the return stroke. Match the file orientation and tooth pattern to the material and the desired surface finish. Regularly check progress and remove filings to maintain efficient cutting action. For safety, wear eye protection and gloves as needed.

Recommendations

For best results, pair the file with an appropriately sized handle and use light, controlled strokes for finishing work. Clean the teeth with a file card to prevent clogging and preserve cutting efficiency. Store the file in a dry place to reduce corrosion risk.
