Value Collection 79-0029-12 Flat Double Cut File 12 Inch

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 79-0029-12 is a 12-inch flat American-pattern file with a double cut and smooth cut coarseness. It is designed for deburring, draw-filing, and finishing flat metal surfaces across a wide range of trade and shop applications. The file measures 1-5/32 inches wide and 9/32 inches thick, providing a solid contact surface for controlled material removal. A tang is included for use with a separate file handle. Machinists, pipefitters, sheet metal workers, and general maintenance technicians reach for this file when a flat, smooth-finishing tool is needed on steel, cast iron, and similar ferrous materials.

This file suits residential and commercial maintenance shops, fabrication environments, and field service kits where consistent flat-surface finishing is required. It works well for cleaning up burrs on cut pipe ends, truing flat mating surfaces, and refining edges on fabricated metal components. The smooth cut grade makes it appropriate for finishing passes rather than aggressive stock removal, delivering a cleaner surface with each stroke. It fits naturally into HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical trade toolkits.

Key Features

• Double cut pattern for efficient material removal on both forward and return strokes
• Smooth cut coarseness suited for finishing and light deburring work
• Flat profile with 1-5/32 inch width and 9/32 inch thickness for consistent surface contact
• 12-inch file length provides leverage and control on medium to large workpieces
• Tang configuration accepts a standard file handle for secure grip during use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard American-pattern flat file suitable for use on ferrous metals in general trade, fabrication, and maintenance applications.

Installation Notes

Always fit a properly sized handle onto the tang before use to maintain control and reduce the risk of hand injury. Secure the workpiece in a vise or clamp before filing to ensure consistent strokes and accurate results. Inspect the file for cracks or missing teeth before each use, and never use a file as a pry bar or striking tool. Keep the file clean of metal filings using a file card to maintain cutting efficiency.
