Value Collection SC00576512 Lathe File 10in Single Cut

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SC00576512 is a 10-inch lathe file designed for precision filing work on rotating workpieces in machine shop and metalworking environments. It features a single-cut tooth pattern with a bastard cut coarseness, making it well-suited for controlled material removal and smooth finishing passes on metal stock. The file measures 31/32 inches wide and 1/4 inch thick, with a tang end for use with a separate file handle. At 0.6 pounds, it is lightweight enough for extended use on a lathe or bench vise setup. Installation requires no fasteners; the tang seats into a compatible handle before use.

This lathe file is intended for machinists, toolmakers, and metalworking tradespeople who need a reliable single-cut file for draw-filing cylindrical workpieces or deburring turned parts. It is a standard American-pattern file appropriate for bench and lathe applications in job shops, maintenance facilities, and manufacturing environments where controlled metal removal is required.

Installation Notes

Always seat the tang fully into a properly sized file handle before use to prevent hand injury. Secure the workpiece appropriately before filing, and ensure the lathe or machine is fully powered down and at rest before any hand-filing operation begins. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment including safety glasses and cut-resistant gloves when handling or using files.
