Value Collection PB--20564-6 Half Round Bastard Cut File 6 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION PB--20564-6 is a 6-inch half round file designed for material removal and surface finishing in metalworking, fabrication, and maintenance applications. The double cut pattern features two sets of crossing teeth that work together to remove material quickly while leaving a surface ready for finer finishing. The bastard cut coarseness sits between coarse and second-cut grades, making it a practical choice for general-purpose stock removal on steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous metals. A tang is included for use with a standard file handle. Overall width measures 19/32 inches and overall thickness is 5/32 inches.

This half round file is suited for trade and shop use where both flat and curved surfaces need to be worked in a single tool. The flat face handles flat stock, edges, and shoulders, while the rounded face addresses concave profiles, slots, and inside curves. Machinists, pipefitters, millwrights, welders, and general maintenance technicians commonly keep a bastard-cut half round on hand for deburring, fitting, and blending work on metal components.

Installation Notes

A licensed machinist, pipefitter, welder, or maintenance technician typically uses hand files as part of routine fabrication and repair work. Always secure a properly fitted handle onto the tang before use to prevent hand injury from an exposed tang. Secure the workpiece in a vise or clamp before filing. Inspect the file for cracks or missing teeth before each use and replace if damaged.
