Value Collection 382-0527 Swiss-pattern Equalling File Cut 2

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 382-0527 is a Swiss-pattern equalling file designed for fine precision filing work in metalworking, toolmaking, and maintenance applications. With an overall length of 5.5 inches and a length of cut of 2.5 inches, this needle-grade file delivers controlled material removal on flat surfaces where parallel edges and consistent thickness are required. The Cut 2 designation indicates a smooth cut rating appropriate for finishing and deburring operations. It measures 5 inches wide and 0.06 inches thick, making it well suited for working in narrow slots, keyways, and tight clearances. A handle is included for secure grip during use.

This equalling file is used in trade and industrial settings where machinists, toolmakers, maintenance technicians, and precision fabricators need to dress flat surfaces, true up mating parts, or remove small amounts of material with accuracy. The needle-level precision rating makes it appropriate for fine work on hardened or soft metals. Its compact 5.5-inch overall length gives it good maneuverability in confined work areas and bench vise setups.

Key Features

• Swiss-pattern construction for consistent tooth geometry and repeatable cut quality
• Cut 2 smooth rating suited for finishing passes and deburring
• Needle-grade precision level for fine, controlled material removal
• Equalling profile maintains parallel edges and uniform thickness across the file face
• Included handle provides secure grip and reduces hand fatigue during extended use
• Compact 5.5-inch OAL fits confined workspaces and bench applications

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose Swiss-pattern equalling file suitable for use on soft and hardened metals in machining, toolmaking, and precision maintenance applications.

Installation Notes

This file is a hand tool requiring no installation. Secure the workpiece in a vise or fixture before filing to maintain control and accuracy. Inspect the file for cracks or damaged teeth before use, and keep it clear of other metal tools during storage to prevent tooth damage. Use appropriate personal protective equipment including safety glasses when filing metal surfaces.
