Value Collection -20572-10 Mill File 10 in Single Cut

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION -20572-10 is a 10-inch American-pattern mill file designed for metal finishing, deburring, and surface smoothing in trade and shop environments. It features a single-cut tooth pattern with a smooth cut coarseness grade, making it well suited for draw-filing and producing fine finishes on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The file measures 11/64 inches thick and 31/32 inches wide, with a tang end for use with a standard file handle. Machinists, pipefitters, ironworkers, and general maintenance trades reach for this style of file when precision hand-finishing is required.

This mill file is a standard American-pattern tool used across industrial, commercial, and residential maintenance settings. Common applications include sharpening saw blades, smoothing weld seams, deburring cut pipe or conduit ends, and refining metal edges. Its single-cut configuration removes material gradually and cleanly, giving the user control over the final surface finish. It ships individually and is sized for bench use or in-field hand work.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard American-pattern mill file fitting any compatible file handle sold separately; suitable for general metalworking, maintenance, and trade finishing tasks.

Installation Notes

Files should always be fitted with a proper handle on the tang before use to prevent hand injury from the exposed point. Always push the file forward on the cutting stroke and lift or drag lightly on the return stroke to preserve tooth life. Keep files dry and free of oil to maintain cutting efficiency, and use a file card or wire brush regularly to clear metal filings from the teeth.
