Value Collection BDNA--20577-10 Flat File Single Cut 10 Inch

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BDNA--20577-10 is a 10-inch flat American-pattern file with a single cut pattern, designed for general-purpose material removal and surface finishing in trade and shop environments. It measures 31/32 inches wide and 3/16 inches thick, offering a flat working geometry suited to deburring, smoothing flat surfaces, and fitting metal components. The tang end accepts a standard file handle for secure grip during use. This file is a staple tool for pipefitters, HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and millwrights who need reliable stock removal on ferrous and non-ferrous metals in the field or at the bench.

This flat file is appropriate for a wide range of trade applications including deburring cut pipe ends, dressing valve seats, smoothing weld spatter, and fitting conduit knockouts or brackets. Its 10-inch file length makes it practical for both confined spaces and open bench work. The single cut pattern produces a smoother finish than double cut and is well suited to draw-filing or finish work on flat and slightly curved surfaces. Professionals in residential, commercial, and light industrial settings will find it useful for routine maintenance and fabrication tasks.

Installation Notes

Always fit a proper handle onto the tang before use to prevent hand injury from an exposed tang during filing. Inspect the file for cracks or missing teeth before each use and discard damaged files. Keep files clean and dry to prevent tooth loading and premature wear. Files are cutting tools and should be stored separately to avoid contact with other files or hardened surfaces that can dull the teeth.
