Value Collection 382-0606 Swiss-pattern Flat File Cut 0

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 382-0606 is a Swiss-pattern flat file designed for precision material removal and finishing work in metalworking, toolmaking, and die-and-mold applications. With a Cut 0 (coarsest Swiss-pattern grade) tooth configuration, this file is suited for aggressive stock removal on harder materials where control and surface quality still matter. The overall length measures 6.25 inches, with a 3-inch length of cut and a 6-inch overall width. A handle is included, making it ready for immediate use. This tool is typically specified by machinists, tool-and-die makers, and skilled tradespeople who require consistent, repeatable file geometry.

This Swiss-pattern flat file is used in bench-filing applications on ferrous and non-ferrous metals, plastics, and similar materials where needle-level precision is required. The flat profile makes it suitable for flat surfaces, slots, and keyways. Its compact 6.25-inch overall length fits comfortably in a standard tool vise setup or hand-filing operation. Machinists and tool grinders working on dies, molds, and precision components will find this file appropriate for initial shaping passes on mating surfaces and edge refinement tasks.

Key Features

• Cut 0 Swiss-pattern tooth configuration for aggressive stock removal with controlled geometry
• Flat profile accommodates flat surfaces, slots, and keyway filing
• Needle-level precision classification for consistent, repeatable results
• 3-inch length of cut maximizes usable filing area relative to overall tool length
• Includes handle for secure grip and immediate use out of the package
• Compact 6.25-inch OAL suits bench vise and hand-filing work in tight setups

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Swiss-pattern flat file suitable for general bench-filing applications in metalworking, toolmaking, and precision machining environments where Cut 0 needle-grade files are specified.

Installation Notes

Files are hand tools requiring no installation, but proper technique and safety practices apply. Always inspect the handle for cracks or looseness before use, and never use a file without a handle attached. Secure the workpiece firmly in a vise before filing to prevent slipping and potential injury. Keep files clean and dry, and store them separately to prevent tooth damage from contact with other tools.
