Q

The proper file for a finishing cut on soft metal, such as brass, is the __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• File coarseness scale (bastard, second cut, smooth) and what 'finishing cut' implies • Difference between shape of file (flat, warding, mill) and grade of cut (rough vs smooth) • How soft metals like brass behave when filed (tendency to clog, need for fine finish)

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: which option describes how fine the teeth are, rather than the shape or use of the file? • Which file type would you choose when you are almost done shaping and just want to smooth and finish the surface on a soft metal? • Which of these names is commonly used for general-purpose shaping versus final finishing?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice refers to tooth fineness rather than file shape or special purpose. • Consider that finishing cut on soft metal usually requires finer teeth, not a more aggressive cut. • Eliminate any option that is mainly a shape/style name instead of a grade of cut (coarseness).
