Value Collection 382-0507 Swiss-pattern Equalling File

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 382-0507 is a Swiss-pattern equalling file designed for precision material removal and surface finishing in metalworking, toolmaking, and maintenance applications. This needle-precision file features a Cut 0 tooth pattern, which delivers a coarse-to-medium cut well suited for fast stock removal on softer metals, plastics, and composite materials. The equalling profile has parallel edges and flat faces, making it effective for filing flat surfaces and enlarging slots or openings. The 382-0507 ships with a handle attached and ready for use. Licensed tradespeople, machinists, and skilled maintenance technicians regularly use files of this type for fitting, deburring, and shaping tasks.

This file is suited for use in manufacturing, maintenance, and repair environments where controlled hand filing is required. The equalling cross-section allows access to flat surfaces and right-angle shoulders that other file profiles cannot reach cleanly. The Cut 0 rating makes this file appropriate for initial stock removal before progressing to finer cuts. It is commonly used on mild steel, aluminum, brass, and similar workpiece materials in both bench and field service settings.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose Swiss-pattern hand file for use on flat workpiece surfaces in metalworking, toolroom, and maintenance repair operations where a Cut 0 equalling file profile is specified.

Installation Notes

Hand files require no power source or special installation. Secure the workpiece firmly in a vise or fixture before filing to prevent movement and maintain accuracy. Apply forward stroke pressure only and lift the file on the return stroke to preserve tooth life. Inspect the handle for secure seating before use and replace any cracked or loose handle before continuing work.
