Value Collection SC60104593 Hand File 6 Inches Double Cut

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SC60104593 is a 6-inch American-pattern hand file designed for metal deburring, shaping, and surface finishing in shop and field applications. It features a double cut pattern with a second cut coarseness grade, which removes material efficiently while leaving a relatively smooth surface. At 5/8 inches wide and 5/32 inches thick, the blade profile is suited for flat surfaces and moderately tight workspaces. The file terminates in a tang for use with a standard file handle. Machinists, pipefitters, fabricators, and maintenance technicians reach for this style of file as a go-to hand tool for general metalwork.

This file fits into everyday shop and job-site workflows wherever hand filing is required. Common tasks include cleaning up cut pipe ends, dressing weld beads, removing burrs from sheet metal, and fitting mechanical components. The 6-inch length is a standard bench-file size, appropriate for smaller workpieces and detail work. It is not designed for flexible applications and should be used as a rigid file. Sold as a single unit, it is a practical addition to any trade toolbox.

Installation Notes

Always seat the tang securely into an appropriately sized file handle before use — an exposed tang is a laceration hazard. Secure the workpiece in a vise when possible to keep both hands clear of the cutting stroke. Files cut on the forward push stroke only; ease pressure on the return stroke to extend blade life. Follow applicable shop safety practices and wear eye protection when filing metal.
