What is a Swiss Cut File? 

Swiss Pattern Files are smaller in size and finer in coarseness than their American Pattern counterparts. Swiss Pattern Files are used for more precise and intricate work. Most American pattern files are available in three grades of coarseness: bastard-cut, second-cut and smooth-cut.  The degree of coarseness increases with longer file length, but the differences between bastard, second and smooth-cut remain proportionate.  Swiss pattern files are available in seven grades of coarseness: 00, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6. As with American pattern files, the degree of coarseness of Swiss pattern files increases with length, but the difference between grades remains proportionate.
