Question

When smoothing a rough metal surface, which file type would provide a faster finish?

The correct answer is

Double cut file

A double cut file has two rows of teeth crossing each other, so it forms many small cutting points.

These extra cutting edges remove metal quickly and cut faster than a single cut file, which has only one set of parallel teeth and is used for finishing.

Hence, the double cut file provides a faster finish on a rough surface.
