Value Collection SC60105129 Square File 6 in Second Cut

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SC60105129 is a 6-inch square American-pattern file designed for material removal, deburring, and finish work on metal, wood, and plastic. It features a double cut pattern, which means two rows of teeth cut across each other to remove material quickly and leave a moderately smooth surface. The file measures 7/32 inches wide and 7/32 inches thick with a tang end for use with a compatible file handle. At 0.31 pounds, it is a compact, lightweight hand tool suited for bench work and field use. Machinists, pipefitters, welders, and general tradespeople use this type of file for shaping slots, enlarging square openings, and cleaning up burrs on fabricated parts.

The SC60105129 square file is appropriate for both shop and field applications where a small, controlled filing tool is needed. Its second cut coarseness sits between bastard and smooth cut, making it suitable for general-purpose stock removal with a reasonably clean finish. It is commonly used in HVAC, plumbing, and electrical trades when fitting conduit knockouts, cleaning pipe ends, or dressing metal edges during fabrication or installation work. The tang end allows the user to fit a standard aftermarket file handle for improved grip and control during extended use.

Installation Notes

Always fit a proper handle onto the tang before use to prevent hand injuries from the exposed tang end. Secure the workpiece in a vise or clamp before filing to maintain control and accuracy. Apply consistent forward stroke pressure and lift the file on the return stroke to preserve tooth sharpness. Wear appropriate eye protection when filing metal to guard against dislodged chips and debris.
