Value Collection SC60104619 Hand File 10 Inches Double Cut

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SC60104619 is a 10-inch American-pattern hand file designed for material removal, deburring, and surface finishing on metal workpieces. It features a double cut pattern with a second cut coarseness, which produces a medium-aggressive tooth action suited for general-purpose filing across a range of ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The file measures 31/32 inches wide and 1/4 inch thick, with a tang end for use with a compatible file handle. At 0.56 pounds, it is lightweight enough for extended hand use without fatigue during bench work or field service.

This file is used in fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, plumbing rough-in work, electrical conduit preparation, and HVAC sheet metal finishing. It is appropriate wherever a tradesperson needs controlled material removal on metal edges, slots, or flat surfaces. The double cut face accelerates stock removal while the second cut grade leaves a reasonably smooth finish, making it a practical choice for both production and repair tasks.

Key Features

• 10-inch cut length for coverage on larger workpiece surfaces
• Double cut pattern increases material removal rate compared to single cut
• Second cut coarseness balances speed of removal with surface finish quality
• 31/32-inch width provides a stable filing surface on flat stock
• 1/4-inch thickness allows entry into shallow slots and recesses
• Tang end accepts standard file handles for a secure, ergonomic grip

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose American-pattern hand file compatible with standard file handles that accept a tapered tang fitting. Suitable for use on mild steel, cast iron, aluminum, brass, and similar workpiece materials common in trade applications.

Installation Notes

Always seat a file handle fully onto the tang before use to prevent hand injury from an exposed tang point. File in the forward stroke only and lift on the return to preserve tooth sharpness. Secure the workpiece in a vise or clamp before filing to maintain control and reduce the risk of injury. Do not use this file on hardened steel or as a pry bar, as the body is brittle and may fracture under lateral stress.
