It features a double-cut pattern, which uses two sets of parallel teeth crossing at opposing angles to remove material quickly and leave a moderately smooth finish. The flat face handles flat surfaces and inside angles, while the curved face addresses concave profiles and rounded cuts. At 3\/4 inch wide and 7\/32 inch thick, it fits comfortably in confined work areas. A standard tang is included for use with a separate file handle. This file is a common hand tool for machinists, pipefitters, HVAC technicians, and general tradespeople working in fabrication or field service.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis file is well suited for bench work and field applications where stock removal and edge finishing are required. Typical uses include deburring pipe ends, shaping soft metal brackets, cleaning valve seats, and dressing rough cut edges on sheet metal or conduit. The half round profile makes it practical for both flat and contoured work in a single tool, reducing the need to switch between file profiles during a job.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDouble-cut tooth pattern for fast material removal and moderate surface finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHalf round profile handles both flat surfaces and concave contours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8-inch file length suitable for bench vise and hand-held use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3\/4 inch wide face provides good contact area on flat workpieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7\/32 inch thickness allows access to tighter profiles and grooves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStandard tang compatible with most aftermarket file handles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBastard cut coarseness appropriate for general-purpose stock removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose American-pattern hand file for use across metalworking, pipefitting, HVAC fabrication, and electrical trade applications where a half round double-cut bastard file is specified.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eFile work is performed by hand; always use a properly fitted handle on the tang to prevent injury from an exposed point. Secure the workpiece in a bench vise before filing when possible. File teeth are designed for forward-stroke cutting only — drag on the return stroke accelerates wear and dulls the teeth. Keep files clean and dry; a file card brush removes metal filings and extends tool life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFile Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Half Round\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCut Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Double\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoarseness\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bastard Cut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFile Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7\/32 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTang\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes, tang included (handle sold separately)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Order Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 79-0040-12\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51694205927730,"sku":"79-0040-12","price":194.55,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/1387a1cbc85e69f037e155e448d18e22_251416a8-cb5f-43d1-8115-75ebeeb3db8b.jpg?v=1788321689","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-79-0040-12-half-round-double-file-8-inch","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
