Value Collection 79-0060-12 Round File 8 Inch Double Cut

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 79-0060-12 is an 8-inch round American-pattern file with a double cut and smooth coarseness rating. Designed for material removal and finishing work on ferrous and non-ferrous metals, plastics, and wood, this file features a tang end for use with a compatible file handle. The round profile and 5/16-inch diameter make it well suited for enlarging holes, smoothing curved internal surfaces, and deburring. Machinists, pipefitters, fabricators, and maintenance technicians commonly reach for this style of file for precision hand-filing tasks on the bench or in the field.

This file is appropriate for both shop and field use across industrial, mechanical, and trade service environments. The smooth cut removes material gradually, making it a good choice for finish work and fine fitting where surface quality matters. The double cut pattern accelerates stock removal compared to a single cut and helps clear chips efficiently during use. It is sold individually and is sized for general-purpose hand filing applications.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose round American-pattern file compatible with standard file handles that accept a tang-style tang. Suitable for use on metals, plastics, and wood in hand-filing applications.

Installation Notes

Files should always be fitted with a secure handle before use to protect the hand from the exposed tang. Inspect the file for cracks or damage before each use. Apply consistent, even pressure on the forward stroke and lift slightly on the return stroke to preserve cutting edges. Always wear appropriate eye and hand protection when hand-filing.
