Value Collection SC60105228 Slim Taper File 10 in Single Cut

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SC60105228 is a slim taper American-pattern file designed for precision filing work on saw teeth and similarly tapered features. At 10 inches in overall length with a single-cut tooth pattern, it removes material smoothly in one direction, producing a cleaner surface finish than a double-cut file. The tang end accepts a standard file handle. This tool is a staple in the kits of saw filers, machinists, and sharpening technicians who need controlled stock removal in tight or angled grooves.

This file is suited for tapered saw sharpening applications, including hand saws and similar tools that require a slim profile to reach individual gullets. The 5/8-inch maximum width and slim taper geometry allow the file to fit progressively deeper or shallower tooth profiles without widening the gullet unevenly. It is used in both shop and field settings wherever saw maintenance is performed.

Key Features

• Slim taper profile fits tapered saw gullets and similar narrow grooves
• Single-cut tooth pattern for smooth, controlled stock removal
• 10-inch cut length covers the full working surface
• 5/8-inch maximum width keeps file narrow for precision work
• Tang end compatible with standard replacement file handles
• Non-flexible body maintains consistent filing angle under hand pressure

Compatibility

Designed as a standard slim taper American-pattern file suitable for hand saw sharpening and general tapered filing tasks where a single-cut, 10-inch file is specified.

Installation Notes

Always fit a properly sized handle onto the tang before use to protect the hand and maintain control. Secure the workpiece in a vise when sharpening saw teeth to prevent movement. Files cut on the forward stroke only — lift the file on the return stroke to preserve tooth life. Replace the file when teeth become dull, as a worn file requires excess pressure and produces poor results.
