Value Collection SC60105020 Round File 12 in Double Cut

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SC60105020 is a 12-inch American-pattern round file designed for material removal, deburring, and enlarging round openings in metal, wood, and plastic. With a double-cut tooth pattern and a second-cut coarseness grade, it removes stock efficiently while leaving a moderately smooth finish. The file measures 1/2 inch in diameter across the cutting surface and includes a tang for use with a standard file handle. At 0.88 pounds, it is sized for single-hand use in bench work and in-place filing tasks. Machinists, maintenance technicians, pipefitters, and general tradespeople use this file for everyday material shaping and finishing work.

This round file suits a wide range of trade and shop applications, including opening pipe entry holes, cleaning up drilled bores, sharpening chain saw chains, and fitting mechanical components. The double-cut pattern makes it well suited to ferrous metals and harder non-ferrous stock where faster material removal is needed before switching to a finer finish file. It is equally useful in fabrication shops, maintenance departments, and on job sites where a reliable general-purpose round file is part of the standard tool kit.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose American-pattern round file compatible with standard file handles sold separately. Suitable for use on ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals, wood, and plastics in bench or field applications.

Installation Notes

Always fit a properly sized handle onto the tang before use to prevent hand injury from the exposed tang point. Secure the workpiece in a vise or clamp before filing to maintain control and consistent stroke direction. File on the forward stroke only and lift slightly on the return to preserve tooth sharpness. Inspect the file for cracks or missing teeth before each use and replace if damaged.
