Vijl Bahco ERGO 1-230-08-2-2

The Bahco ERGO 1-230-08-2-2 is a round engineering file with a second (bastard) cut, intended for precise shaping and smoothing of materials. It has an 8 mm diameter working profile and a compact, lightweight design that provides good control for fine metalworking and similar tasks.

Advantages

The ERGO handle is shaped for ergonomic grip and reduced hand fatigue during repeated use. The second cut tooth pattern removes material efficiently while leaving a relatively smooth surface compared with coarser cuts. Its compact dimensions and light weight enable accurate work in confined spaces.

Suitable for

• Precision metal filing and deburring
• Shaping small cylindrical or rounded surfaces
• Finishing work on tools, molds, and mechanical parts

Key specifications

• File type: round (cylindrical) profile
• Cut: second cut (bastard)
• Working diameter: 8 mm
• Weight: 112 g
• Handle: ergonomic ERGO design

How to use

Hold the ERGO handle firmly and apply the file with steady, even strokes in the intended direction of material removal. Use light to moderate pressure to avoid overcutting and maintain control; lift the file on the return stroke if required to preserve the tooth pattern. Periodically clean the teeth with a file card to prevent clogging and ensure consistent cutting performance.

Recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and gloves. Select the ERGO round second-cut file for tasks requiring controlled material removal on small rounded surfaces or internal radii; pair with a file card and light oil for best results when working on soft metals.
