Value Collection PB--20573-8 Slim Taper File 8 Inch

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION PB--20573-8 is a slim taper American-pattern file designed for precision filing work on saw teeth and other narrow, angled surfaces. This single-cut file measures 8 inches in overall length with a working face width of 15/32 inches, making it well suited for controlled material removal where a flat or mill file would be too wide. The tang-style handle end accepts a standard file handle for a secure grip during use. Single-cut tooth geometry produces smooth, consistent strokes that leave a refined surface finish with each pass.

This slim taper file is intended for saw filing applications, including sharpening crosscut and rip saw teeth, as well as general-purpose deburring and finishing in tight or angled spaces. It is a common hand tool for machinists, maintenance technicians, woodworkers, and tradespeople who maintain hand saws and precision cutting tools on the job or in the shop. The tapered profile allows access to gullets and beveled surfaces that wider files cannot reach.

Installation Notes

A licensed or experienced tradesperson should always fit a proper file handle onto the tang before use to prevent hand injuries. Secure the workpiece in a vise when practical to maintain consistent stroke angles and avoid slipping. Files are cutting tools and should be stored individually or with blade guards to protect the teeth and prevent contact injuries.
