Value Collection SC60105293 Triangle File 10in Bastard Cut

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SC60105293 is a 10-inch American-pattern three-square (triangle) file designed for precision material removal in machining and metalworking applications. This double-cut, bastard-cut file features a tang end for use with a standard file handle. The triangular cross-section allows access to internal angles, notches, and grooved profiles that flat or round files cannot reach. At 0.88 pounds, it is a solid, full-length hand tool built for bench work and on-site use by machinists, toolmakers, maintenance technicians, and skilled tradespeople who require controlled stock removal on metal workpieces.

This file is suited for general machining environments where a bastard-cut tooth pattern is needed for moderate material removal on ferrous metals, aluminum, and similar stock. The double-cut face pattern cuts on the forward stroke and leaves a moderately smooth finish, making it appropriate for roughing passes before moving to a finer cut. The triangular profile is especially useful for filing saw teeth, cleaning up threaded fittings, and opening up tight interior angles on fabricated parts. It is sold individually and requires a separate file handle for safe use.

Key Features

• Three-square (triangle) cross-section for accessing internal angles and V-grooves
• Bastard-cut coarseness for moderate stock removal on most metals
• Double-cut tooth pattern for aggressive forward-stroke cutting
• 10-inch cut length covering the full working face of the file
• Tang end compatible with standard aftermarket file handles
• Non-flexible body for rigid, controlled filing passes

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose American-pattern hand file compatible with any standard file handle sized for a 10-inch tang file.

Installation Notes

Secure a properly sized handle onto the tang before use — operating a tang file without a handle is a recognized laceration hazard. Clamp workpieces firmly in a vise to prevent movement during filing strokes. Apply forward pressure only; lifting the file on the return stroke extends tooth life. Clean the file regularly with a file card or brush to clear metal chips and prevent pinning.
