Value Collection SC70570015 Round Bastard File 4 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SC70570015 is a 4-inch round double cut bastard file designed for material removal, deburring, and shaping tasks in metalworking and general fabrication applications. The double cut pattern features two sets of crossing teeth that work together to remove material faster than a single cut file, making it well suited for rapid stock removal on softer metals, plastics, and other workpiece materials. At 5/32 inch in diameter, the round profile fits into narrow slots, holes, and curved recesses where flat or half-round files cannot reach. The file is supplied with a tang for use with a separate handle. It measures 4 inches in overall length and carries a bastard coarseness rating, placing it in the medium-to-coarse range of the American file grading system.

This file is used in general metalworking, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical trade work wherever a small round file is needed to open knockout holes, clean up pipe ends, smooth rough burrs on conduit fittings, or fit components to tight tolerances. The compact 4-inch length is appropriate for bench work and confined spaces. Machinists, pipefitters, sheet metal workers, and electricians commonly keep this size in rotation as a utility file for quick touch-up work on the job.

Installation Notes

A licensed or experienced trade professional should always fit a secure handle onto the tang before use to prevent hand injury. Secure the workpiece in a vise or clamp before filing. File in controlled forward strokes, lifting on the return to preserve tooth life. Inspect the file regularly for clogging and clear debris with a file card brush.
