Value Collection 382-0637 Swiss-pattern Equalling File Cut 3

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 382-0637 is a Swiss-pattern equalling file designed for precision material removal and surface finishing in tight tolerances. With an overall length of 6.25 inches and a 3-inch length of cut, this file falls into the needle-precision category, making it well suited for fine detail work on metal, hardened tool steel, and similar materials. The Cut 3 designation indicates a fine tooth pitch that produces a smooth finish with controlled stock removal. A handle is included, providing a secure grip during use. This tool is used by machinists, toolmakers, maintenance technicians, and skilled tradespeople who require consistent, repeatable results in close-tolerance filing work.

The equalling file profile features parallel sides and edges with uniform thickness, allowing the technician to file flat surfaces and inside angles without altering adjacent faces. At 0.07 inches thick and 6 inches wide, the file fits into narrow slots, keyways, and recesses where standard-width files cannot reach. This size range is common in toolroom environments, job shops, mold and die work, and general metalworking maintenance. The included handle improves control and reduces hand fatigue during extended use sessions.

Installation Notes

This file is a hand tool requiring no power source or mechanical installation. Secure the workpiece in a vise or appropriate fixture before filing to maintain control and prevent injury. Inspect the handle for cracks or looseness before each use and replace if damaged. Keep the file clean and dry; use a file card or brush to clear debris from the teeth during use to maintain cutting efficiency.
