This double-cut file measures 10 inches in overall length and 31\/32 inches in width, with a 1\/4-inch thickness that suits both broad surface work and moderate edge filing. The smooth-cut coarseness rating makes it appropriate for finishing passes and fine material removal rather than aggressive stock removal. It features a tang end for use with a separately sourced file handle, which is standard practice for safe bench-filing operations. Machinists, pipefitters, and general trades regularly reach for this style of file for deburring pipe ends, fitting parts, and cleaning weld seams.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis flat file is suited for bench and field use across a range of trade and shop applications. It works on ferrous and non-ferrous metals as well as hard plastics. The double-cut tooth pattern generates more cutting action per stroke than a single-cut file, making it efficient for intermediate finishing work. Typical applications include cleaning up threaded connections, fitting mechanical components, and smoothing rough cuts on conduit, pipe, or structural steel. The 10-inch length provides adequate working surface for most standard tasks without being unwieldy in tight installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDouble-cut tooth pattern for efficient material removal on forward and return strokes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSmooth-cut coarseness for fine finishing and deburring applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e10-inch file length suits a wide range of bench and field tasks\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e31\/32-inch width provides broad filing surface for flat workpieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/4-inch thickness accommodates moderate edge and surface work\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTang end compatible with standard file handles sold separately\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose American-pattern flat file suitable for use on ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals, and hard plastics in standard bench-filing and field-finishing applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlways fit a proper file handle onto the tang before use to prevent hand injury from the bare tang. Secure the workpiece in a vise or clamp before filing to maintain control and file accuracy. Apply consistent forward pressure on the cutting stroke and lift or reduce pressure on the return stroke to extend file life. Inspect the file teeth periodically and use a file card or brush to clear swarf buildup, which can cause scratching and reduce cutting efficiency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFile Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Flat\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: Smooth Cut\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFile Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 31\/32 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTang\/Handle\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tang\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: PB--20562-10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51718352339250,"sku":"PB--20562-10","price":27.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/0b7a729c88c490510ed8994f72870651.jpg?v=1788552394","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-pb-20562-10-flat-file-double-cut-10-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
