Value Collection 79-0092-12 Mill File 8in Bastard Cut

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 79-0092-12 is an 8-inch bastard cut, single cut mill file in the American pattern. Mill files are single cut tools used for draw filing, deburring, finishing flat surfaces, and sharpening saw blades and tool edges. The bastard cut coarseness makes this file suitable for general-purpose stock removal on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The American pattern mill file is a standard in trades that require edge preparation or surface smoothing on metal components. It measures 25/32 inches wide and 9/64 inches thick, giving it the slim, flat profile expected of a true mill file.

This file is used across multiple trades and shop environments. HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and general maintenance professionals reach for mill files when dressing burrs off cut pipe or conduit, cleaning up sheet metal edges, or refining mating surfaces on fittings and flanges. The 8-inch length provides good leverage for bench work and hand filing without becoming unwieldy in tighter work areas. Sold individually per package.

Compatibility

Designed for general-purpose hand filing on metal surfaces; compatible with standard file handles sized for 8-inch files sold separately.

Installation Notes

Mill files are hand tools used by machinists, pipefitters, plumbers, electricians, and HVAC technicians during fabrication or service work. Always fit the tang into a properly sized file handle before use to prevent hand injury. File in one direction using forward strokes and lift the file on the return stroke to preserve the teeth. Keep the file clear of moisture and store it so teeth do not contact other tools, which dulls the cut surface prematurely.
