Value Collection 382-0601 Swiss-pattern Round File Cut 0

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 382-0601 is a Swiss-pattern round needle file designed for precision hand-filing work in metalworking, toolmaking, and finishing applications. With a Cut 0 (coarsest Swiss-pattern grade) tooth configuration, this file removes material efficiently while maintaining the control expected from Swiss-pattern tooling. The round cross-section allows filing and enlarging circular holes, curved slots, and contoured surfaces. It measures 6.25 inches overall length with 3 inches of active cutting surface. A handle is included, providing secure grip during use. This file is suited for machinists, toolmakers, maintenance technicians, and precision tradespeople who require consistent, repeatable hand-filing performance.

This Swiss-pattern round file is appropriate for use in tool-and-die shops, maintenance and repair operations, and precision fabrication environments. The needle file form factor is common in applications requiring access to tight spaces or fine detail work on metal components. Cut 0 is the coarsest grade in the Swiss-pattern numbering system, making this file well suited for initial stock removal before progressing to finer cuts. It is compatible with standard needle file handles and typical bench-filing workflows across metalworking trades.

Key Features

• Swiss-pattern Cut 0 tooth configuration for efficient material removal
• Round cross-section for filing circular openings, curved profiles, and contoured surfaces
• 3 inches of active cutting length provides adequate surface for controlled filing strokes
• 6.25 inches overall length for comfortable handling during bench work
• Includes handle for secure, fatigue-reducing grip
• Needle file precision level suitable for detail and access work in confined areas

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Swiss-pattern round needle file compatible with general hand-filing applications in metalworking and precision trade environments.

Installation Notes

This file is a hand tool used by machinists, toolmakers, and maintenance technicians during bench-filing operations. Secure the workpiece in a vise before filing to prevent movement and maintain control. Apply forward stroke pressure only, lifting the file on the return stroke to preserve tooth life. Inspect the handle for secure fit before use, and replace worn or cracked handles promptly to avoid hand injury.
