{"product_id":"iwasaki-draw-file-flat-bastard-cut","title":"Draw File - Flat - Bastard Cut","description":"\u003cdiv\u003eThe Iwasaki Draw File Bastard Cut works more like a small drawknife than a traditional file, giving woodworkers direct control over material removal by pulling the cutting surface toward the body. With an overall length just over 8\" and blue grips at both ends, it allows two‑handed control while keeping the cutting teeth exposed only where needed.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eThis flat bastard cut file is aggressive enough to shape and tune wood efficiently while remaining self‑cleaning during use. Unlike many coarse files, it leaves a surface that is noticeably smoother than expected, reducing follow‑up work before final smoothing. That balance makes it useful for fine adjustments and general shaping tasks where control matters as much as speed.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eAt just over 8\" overall with a cutting area of about 2\", the tool balances precision and maneuverability. It is a practical choice for furniture work, instrument making and general woodworking tasks where small adjustments and clean surfaces make a difference.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlat bastard cut draw file for shaping wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDraw‑filing action provides controlled material removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelf‑cleaning cut resists loading\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrips on both ends support two‑handed use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeaves a smooth surface compared to coarser files\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverall Length: Just over 8“\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCut Style: Flat Bastard Cut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCut Area Length: Approx. 2\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandle Style: Dual End Grips\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat's Included:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e(1) Iwasaki Draw File Flat - Bastard Cut\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Iwasaki","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49599113068682,"sku":"198951","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/1711\/1178\/files\/198951_000_001.jpg?v=1782497483","url":"https:\/\/www.woodcraft.com\/products\/iwasaki-draw-file-flat-bastard-cut","provider":"Woodcraft","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
