Value Collection PB--20571-6 Mill File 6 Inch Single Cut

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION PB--20571-6 is a 6-inch mill file with a single-cut, bastard-cut tooth pattern, designed for general-purpose material removal and finishing on metal surfaces. The file measures 19/32 inches wide and 7/64 inches thick, with a tang end for use with a standard file handle. Single-cut files produce a smoother finish than double-cut files and are well suited for draw-filing, deburring edges, and sharpening saw blades or tool edges. This file is a standard American-pattern design used daily in metal fabrication, maintenance, and trade shops.

Mill files in this configuration are used across a range of applications including deburring steel and iron workpieces, dressing tool edges, and general bench filing tasks. The bastard cut provides a medium-coarse tooth spacing that balances material removal speed with surface finish quality. This file is appropriate for use by machinists, pipefitters, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general maintenance tradespeople who need a reliable hand file for field or shop work.

Installation Notes

Mill files are hand tools installed by technicians and tradespeople in shop or field settings. Always fit a proper handle onto the tang before use to prevent hand injury. Keep fingers clear of the workpiece edge during filing strokes. Files should be stored separately to avoid contact with other cutting tools, which dulls the teeth prematurely.
