Value Collection 32.460U Triangle File 6 in Second Cut

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 32.460U is a 6-inch American-pattern three-square (triangle) file designed for precision metalworking and machining tasks. It features a double cut pattern with a second cut coarseness, making it effective for shaping, deburring, and refining internal angles on metal workpieces. The tang style end accepts a standard file handle for secure grip during use. At 15/32 inches wide, the triangular cross-section allows the file to work into tight corners and V-grooves that flat or round files cannot reach. This tool is a standard choice for machinists, toolmakers, and maintenance technicians working on ferrous and non-ferrous metals.

This file is suited for machining applications where controlled material removal and precise angle finishing are required. The second cut double cut combination removes material efficiently while leaving a relatively smooth surface finish, making it appropriate for fitting, notching, and sharpening operations. It is commonly used in machine shops, maintenance facilities, and general metalworking environments where consistent file geometry is needed.

Key Features

• Three-square (triangle) cross-section accesses internal angles and tight V-grooves
• Double cut pattern for faster material removal compared to single cut
• Second cut coarseness balances stock removal with surface finish quality
• 6-inch length of cut suits bench and hand filing tasks on smaller workpieces
• Tang end compatible with standard aftermarket file handles
• Non-flexible construction maintains consistent cutting geometry under pressure

Compatibility

Designed as a standard American-pattern triangle file suitable for general machining and metalworking applications where a 6-inch second cut double cut file is specified.

Installation Notes

Always fit a properly sized handle onto the tang before use to prevent hand injury from the exposed tang point. Secure the workpiece in a vise or fixture to maintain control during filing. Apply consistent forward strokes with moderate pressure and lift the file on the return stroke to preserve cutting teeth. Inspect file teeth regularly and use a file card to clear metal buildup that reduces cutting efficiency.
