  • #2 Fine Single Cut: Provides a finer cut for more delicate and precise work.

Each file measures 7 inches (17.8 cm) in length and 0.284 inches (7.2 mm) in width, making them suitable for a variety of dovetail slot applications.

Glad I had it!
Probably the best file around for dovetailing. Used it on a Winchester 92 Rossi reproduction while converting to a shorter barrel. A little pricey, but I doubt that as a shade tree gunsmith I could have done it with regular files. I recommend it.
