The file measures 1-5\/32 inches wide and 9\/32 inches thick, providing a stable, flat working face suited for deburring, sharpening, and surface smoothing tasks. It features a tang end for use with a standard file handle. This type of hand file is a shop and field staple for machinists, maintenance technicians, pipefitters, and general trade professionals who require consistent, controlled stock removal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PB--20562-12 is suited for bench work and field service applications where flat filing of metal components is required. Typical uses include cleaning up burrs on pipe ends, dressing mating surfaces, sharpening tool edges, and refining fitment on fabricated parts. The smooth cut coarseness makes it appropriate for finish work and fine material removal rather than aggressive shaping. It is commonly used in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical trades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFlat file profile with double cut pattern for efficient bi-directional cutting action\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSmooth cut coarseness suited for finish filing and fine stock removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e12-inch file length provides good reach and stroke for bench and field use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1-5\/32-inch face width delivers a stable, broad working surface\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTang end is compatible with standard aftermarket file handles\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAmerican-pattern geometry follows conventional proportions familiar to trade users\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard American-pattern flat file compatible with any conventional file handle accepting a tapered tang.

Wear appropriate eye protection when filing metal to guard against flying particles. Apply consistent, controlled forward strokes for cutting and lift the file on the return stroke to preserve teeth life. Inspect the file regularly for clogging and use a file card or brush to clear metal filings from the teeth.\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 Cut\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: 12 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-5\/32 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9\/32 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTang Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tang\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\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--20562-12\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51721334391090,"sku":"PB--20562-12","price":32.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/1387a1cbc85e69f037e155e448d18e22_2544fa07-e314-4612-85ab-bf6d3e5341ae.jpg?v=1788576609","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-pb-20562-12-flat-double-cut-file-12-inch","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
