Value Collection 382-0604 Swiss-pattern Three Square File

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 382-0604 is a Swiss-pattern three square file designed for precision material removal and finishing in metalworking, toolmaking, and fabrication applications. With a Cut 0 (coarse) tooth pattern and needle-level precision geometry, this file delivers controlled stock removal on ferrous and non-ferrous metals, plastics, and other materials. The three square profile — a triangular cross-section with three cutting faces — is well suited for filing interior angles, notches, slots, and V-grooves. At 6.25 inches overall length with a 3-inch length of cut, it is sized for general bench work. A handle is included for immediate use.

This file is used in machine shops, tool rooms, maintenance facilities, and general fabrication environments. It is appropriate for machinists, tool and die makers, maintenance technicians, and skilled tradespeople who require precise hand filing on close-tolerance workpieces. The three square shape makes it particularly effective when working in confined areas or on angular features where flat files cannot reach. Typical tasks include deburring, chamfering, sharpening, and fitting mating parts.

Key Features

• Three square (triangular) profile for filing interior angles, V-grooves, and notches
• Cut 0 tooth pattern for aggressive stock removal on initial passes
• Needle-level precision geometry for controlled, repeatable material removal
• 3-inch length of cut maximizes usable filing surface on a compact tool
• Handle included — ready to use without additional accessories
• 6.25-inch overall length suits bench vise and handheld filing operations

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Swiss-pattern three square file suitable for general metalworking, toolmaking, and maintenance filing operations across a wide range of materials and workpiece geometries.

Installation Notes

Files are hand tools used by machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians and require no installation. Secure the workpiece firmly in a bench vise before filing to prevent movement and ensure accurate material removal. Inspect the handle for cracks or looseness before use and replace if damaged. Never use a file without a properly seated handle, as an exposed tang poses a puncture hazard.
