Value Collection SC60105152 Square File 6 in Smooth Double Cut

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SC60105152 is a 6-inch square American-pattern file designed for precision material removal and finishing on metal, wood, and other workpiece materials. Built with a double-cut tooth pattern and a smooth-cut coarseness rating, this file removes material efficiently while leaving a refined surface finish. The tang end accepts a standard file handle for secure grip during use. At 7/32 inches wide and 7/32 inches thick, the square cross-section allows access to slots, grooves, keyways, and tight internal corners where flat or round files cannot reach. Machinists, toolmakers, maintenance technicians, and metalworkers are the primary users of this file type.

This file is suited for bench work and hand-filing applications in machine shops, maintenance facilities, fabrication shops, and general metalworking environments. The 6-inch length makes it practical for detail work and close-tolerance fitting on small parts. The smooth double-cut face removes material faster than a single-cut file at the same coarseness grade while still producing a relatively smooth surface. It is sold individually and is appropriate for both production and repair settings where square-profile filing is required.

Key Features

• Square cross-section at 7/32 inches wide by 7/32 inches thick for slot and groove work
• Double-cut tooth pattern for efficient material removal with smooth surface results
• Smooth-cut coarseness rating suitable for finishing and close-tolerance fitting
• 6-inch cut length covering the full working face
• Tang end compatible with standard aftermarket file handles
• Non-flexible construction for consistent control during filing strokes

Compatibility

Designed as a standard American-pattern square file for general hand-filing applications across metal, wood, and composite workpieces requiring a square-profile cutting tool.

Installation Notes

Always fit a properly sized handle onto the tang before use to prevent hand injury from an exposed tang point. Secure the workpiece in a vise or fixture before filing to maintain control and accuracy. File in one direction using forward strokes with moderate pressure, lifting the file on the return stroke to reduce tooth wear. Keep the file clean of filings using a file card or brush to maintain cutting efficiency and avoid scoring the workpiece.
