Value Collection 382-0427 Swiss-pattern Equalling File Cut 2

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 382-0427 is a Swiss-pattern equalling needle file designed for precision filing work in metalworking, toolmaking, and light fabrication applications. With a 4-inch overall length and a 2-inch length of cut, this file delivers controlled material removal in tight spaces and on flat or parallel surfaces. The Cut 2 designation indicates a medium-fine tooth pitch suited for finishing passes and deburring on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. At 0.04 inches thick, the blade profile stays slim enough for detail work. Machinists, tool-and-die workers, and maintenance technicians are the primary installers and users.

This equalling file is sized for bench work where precision fit and surface finish matter. The equalling cross-section features parallel edges with flat faces, making it effective for squaring slots, filing keyways, and truing mating surfaces. The 4-inch OAL classifies it as a needle file, ideal for intricate hand filing on small workpieces, mold cavities, and precision instrument components. A handle is included, ready for immediate use without a separate handle purchase.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose Swiss-pattern needle file suitable for hand filing applications on metal workpieces in bench machining and toolroom environments.

Installation Notes

Hand files require no power source and are used with controlled manual strokes across the workpiece surface. Secure workpieces firmly in a vise before filing to maintain accuracy and prevent injury. Inspect the handle for cracks before use and never use a file as a pry bar or hammer substitute. Files are not designed for use on hardened steel harder than the file itself, which can fracture teeth and damage the workpiece.
