Mill files are flat files used for draw-filing, smoothing metal surfaces, and sharpening tools such as saw blades and lawn equipment blades. This file measures 25\/32 inches wide and 9\/64 inches thick, with a tang end designed to accept a file handle. It is a standard American-pattern file suitable for general metalworking, fabrication, and maintenance tasks performed by machinists, millwrights, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis mill file fits into a wide range of light to medium material-removal and finishing applications. The single-cut tooth pattern produces a smoother finish than a double-cut file and is well suited for draw-filing flat surfaces, deburring cut stock, and dressing tool edges. The bastard-cut coarseness sits between smooth and second-cut, making it effective for both initial stock removal and intermediate finishing on ferrous and non-ferrous metals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle-cut tooth pattern for smooth, controlled material removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBastard-cut coarseness for versatile light-to-medium stock removal and finishing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAmerican-pattern mill profile — flat with a tapered cross-section toward the tip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTang end accepts standard file handles for secure grip during use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact 8-inch length suited for bench work and close-quarter filing tasks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose American-pattern mill file compatible with standard file handles sold separately.

Always secure a properly sized handle onto the tang before use to prevent hand injury. File in one direction with moderate, consistent pressure — do not saw back and forth, as this dulls the teeth and reduces cutting efficiency. Keep the file clean with a file card brush to maintain cutting performance and prevent pinning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFile Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Mill\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCut Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Single Cut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoarseness\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bastard Cut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFile Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 25\/32 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9\/64 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\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 27111900\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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--20571-8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51691418943794,"sku":"PB--20571-8","price":17.06,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/fd477b2195739860eb542a90c13c5d71.jpg?v=1788284851","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-pb-20571-8-mill-file-single-cut-8-inch","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
