10" Half Round Intermediate Cut
An intermediate cut file is a common, medium-coarse file used for general metal shaping. It removes material fairly quickly without being overly aggressive, sitting between very coarse files and finer second-cut files.
Slim taper files are mainly used for sharpening handsaws and other fine-toothed tools. They are usually single-cut (or sometimes second-cut) to create a smooth, precise edge.
