Value Collection SC60104627 Hand File 12 in Double Cut

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SC60104627 is a 12-inch American-pattern hand file designed for metal shaping, deburring, and surface finishing in trade and shop environments. It features a double cut pattern with a second cut coarseness rating, making it well-suited for moderate stock removal and smoothing on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The file measures 1-5/32 inches wide and 9/32 inches thick with a tang end for use with a compatible file handle. Weighing 0.88 pounds, it is a solid, non-flexible tool built for consistent hand-filing work. Machinists, pipefitters, HVAC technicians, and maintenance trades reach for this profile when fitting, dressing, or refining metal components in the field or shop.

This hand file is intended for general-purpose bench and field use across a range of trades. It is appropriate for use on steel, iron, aluminum, brass, and similar materials where controlled material removal or edge dressing is needed. The 12-inch length provides good leverage and stroke length for work on larger flat or near-flat surfaces. It is sold individually and is a standard replacement for worn or damaged files in tool kits and shop drawers.

Key Features

• 12-inch cutting length for extended stroke and increased surface coverage
• Double cut pattern removes material faster and produces a smoother finish than single cut
• Second cut coarseness provides a balance between stock removal and surface quality
• 1-5/32 inch width and 9/32 inch thickness suit flat and slightly curved work surfaces
• Tang end accepts standard file handles for added control and safety
• Non-flexible construction maintains consistent contact across the cutting face

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose American-pattern hand file compatible with standard file handles accepting a tang-style file. Suitable for use across machining, pipefitting, HVAC, and general maintenance applications.

Installation Notes

Always seat the tang fully into a properly sized file handle before use to prevent injury from an exposed tang. Wear appropriate eye protection and gloves when filing metal. Files should be used with controlled, forward-stroke pressure and lifted on the return stroke to preserve cutting teeth. Never use a file as a pry bar or striking tool, as the hardened steel is brittle and can fracture.
