Value Collection BDNA-73-51950- Three Square File 10 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BDNA-73-51950- is a 10-inch American-pattern three square file designed for precision material removal on metal workpieces. The double cut pattern features two sets of parallel teeth crossing at an angle, which aggressively removes material while leaving a moderately smooth finish. At 0.75 inches wide, the triangular cross-section makes this file well suited for sharpening taps, cleaning milling cutter teeth, filing internal angles, and working in confined spaces. A tang is included for use with a compatible file handle. This tool is a standard choice for machinists, toolmakers, and maintenance technicians working with hardened or standard steel components.

This three square file is applied in metalworking environments where angular or triangular profiles need to be cut, deburred, or refined. Common applications include sharpening taps and milling cutters, as noted in the product specifications. It performs in both shop and field maintenance settings. The bastard cut coarseness makes it appropriate for fast stock removal on softer metals or initial shaping passes before finishing with a finer cut file.

Installation Notes

Files are hand tools used by machinists, toolmakers, and maintenance technicians and do not require power connections or shutoffs. Always fit the tang into a properly sized file handle before use to prevent hand injury. Secure the workpiece in a vise before filing to maintain control and accuracy. Inspect the file for cracks or damage before each use and replace if teeth are worn smooth or the body is compromised.
