It measures 12 inches in overall length, 1-5\/32 inches in width, and 9\/32 inches in thickness, with a tang end for use with a compatible file handle. Single cut files produce a smoother finish than double cut files and are commonly used for draw filing, finishing ferrous and non-ferrous metals, and fine material removal where surface quality matters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis flat file is suited for machine shop, maintenance, and fabrication environments where hand filing of flat surfaces, edges, and slots is required. Electricians, pipefitters, millwrights, and general maintenance technicians reach for flat American-pattern files when dressing burrs from cut conduit, pipe ends, keyways, and machined surfaces. The 12-inch length provides adequate leverage for controlled strokes on medium to large workpieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e12-inch flat profile for filing flat surfaces and edges\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSingle cut tooth pattern for smoother finish and finer stock removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTang end compatible with standard file handles\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1-5\/32 inch width for good surface coverage on flat workpieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e9\/32 inch thickness provides rigidity during filing strokes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAmerican-pattern geometry follows standard proportions for predictable performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard American-pattern flat file compatible with any tang-style file handle sized for a 12-inch file.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlways fit the tang into a properly sized file handle before use to prevent hand injury from an exposed tang. Secure the workpiece in a vise before filing to maintain control and consistent stroke direction. File handles should be inspected for cracks before each use. Files should not be used on material harder than the file itself, as this will damage the cutting teeth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFile Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Flat\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCut Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Single\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-5\/32 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9\/32 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTang\/Handle\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tang\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 27111900\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: -20563-12\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51701631910194,"sku":"-20563-12","price":61.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/aa60ded6c2c18da590f0eb07f3ae901a.jpg?v=1788402857","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-20563-12-flat-single-cut-file-12-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
