The RS PRO 5 piece engineers 8 inch set features files with bastard cut coarseness for rapid removal of material and smoothing.

Bastard cut refers to the coarseness grade of the cut. A bastard cut file features teeth that are coarse and more spaced out than a double cut file. Bastard cut files are ideal for removing a moderate amount of stock quickly whilst leaving a smooth finish, with a light amount of pressure applied. There is also double cut with teeth closer together and single cut that features fine teeth.

There are a variety of techniques that can be used with hand file tools. They are designed to be used with a forward or push stroke, using steady, even and long strokes. Filing too quickly and aggressively can damage the material you're working with.
