Value Collection PB--20565-10 Round Double Cut File 10 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION PB--20565-10 is a round American-pattern file designed for material removal, deburring, and shaping in metal fabrication, maintenance, and repair applications. Built with a double cut pattern and bastard coarseness, it removes material efficiently while leaving a surface ready for finishing passes. The file measures 10 inches in overall length with a 3/8-inch diameter working section. A tang end is included for use with a separately sourced handle. Machinists, pipefitters, welders, and general maintenance technicians keep this style of file on hand for everyday stock removal tasks.

This round file is suited for enlarging holes, smoothing curved surfaces, and working in slots or channels where flat or half-round files cannot reach. The bastard cut makes it appropriate for initial shaping passes on ferrous and non-ferrous metals, plastics, and similar materials. It is a standard bench and field tool used across manufacturing, HVAC fabrication, plumbing rough-in, and general mechanical trades.

Key Features

Designed as a standard American-pattern round file compatible with conventional file handles sold separately; suitable for general hand-filing tasks across metal, plastic, and composite materials.

Installation Notes

Always fit a proper handle onto the tang before use to prevent hand injury from the exposed tang end. Secure the workpiece in a vise or clamp before filing to maintain control and protect against slipping. Files are cutting tools — apply cutting strokes in one direction and lift on the return stroke to preserve tooth sharpness. Inspect the file for cracks or missing teeth before each use and replace if damaged.
