Value Collection 69-1117-12 Mill File 4 Inch Single Cut

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 69-1117-12 is a 4-inch American-pattern mill file with a single cut, smooth coarseness rating. This hand file is designed for fine finishing, deburring, and draw-filing on metal surfaces. It features a tang for use with a standard file handle and measures 7/16 inches wide by 5/64 inches thick, giving it a flat profile suited for work on flat or slightly curved surfaces. Machinists, pipefitters, plumbers, and maintenance technicians reach for this file when a controlled, smooth finish is required on ferrous and non-ferrous metals.

This mill file is appropriate for light material removal and surface finishing in residential, commercial, and industrial maintenance settings. Its 4-inch overall length makes it well-suited for close-quarters work on small components, fittings, valve seats, and burrs left by cutting tools. The single-cut tooth pattern removes material in one direction and leaves a finer surface finish compared to double-cut files, making it a common choice for sharpening edges and smoothing weld seams.

Installation Notes

Always mount the tang into a properly sized file handle before use to prevent injury. Secure the workpiece in a vise or clamp before filing to maintain control and avoid slipping. Apply consistent, even pressure on the forward stroke and lift the file on the return stroke to extend tooth life. Wear eye protection when filing metal to guard against flying debris.
