Afinish work
Brough work
Cdraw filing
Dsharpening tools
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) rough work. Double cut files are most effective when used for rough work, such as removing large amounts of material quickly. The criss-cross pattern of the double cut teeth allows the file to aggressively remove material, making it well-suited for tasks like deburring, shaping, and preparing surfaces for further finishing. The other answer choices are not the most effective uses for double cut files. A) finish work would typically require a finer, single cut file to achieve a smoother surface. C) draw filing and D) sharpening tools are better suited for other file types, as double cut files can be too coarse for these more precise operations.
