Value Collection SC70570239 Round File 6 in Double Cut

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SC70570239 is a 6-inch American-pattern round file designed for smoothing, deburring, and enlarging round openings, holes, and curved surfaces in metal and other materials. It features a double-cut tooth pattern that removes material efficiently while the smooth-cut coarseness delivers a refined surface finish. The file terminates in a tang end for use with a separate file handle. At 0.12 pounds, it is a lightweight hand tool well suited to bench work and field use by machinists, pipefitters, HVAC technicians, and general maintenance trades.

This file is used wherever a round profile is needed to dress a hole, smooth a contoured surface, or refine an edge. Typical applications include deburring drilled holes in sheet metal, opening up conduit knockouts, fitting gaskets, and cleaning up welds or castings. The 7/32-inch diameter and 6-inch cut length make it appropriate for smaller-diameter work where a larger bastard file would be too coarse or too wide to maneuver.

Key Features

• Round profile for working inside holes, curves, and cylindrical surfaces
• Double-cut tooth pattern for efficient material removal in both stroke directions
• Smooth-cut coarseness for refined finishing with minimal surface roughness
• 6-inch length of cut provides adequate stroke for most bench and field tasks
• 7/32-inch diameter suits small-to-medium round openings and tight clearances
• Tang end accepts standard file handles sold separately

Compatibility

Designed as a standard American-pattern round file suitable for general metalworking, HVAC sheet metal fabrication, plumbing, electrical, and maintenance applications requiring a 6-inch smooth-cut round file.

Installation Notes

Always fit a proper file handle onto the tang before use to protect the hand from injury. Secure the workpiece in a vise or clamp before filing to maintain control and achieve an even stroke. Apply forward pressure on the push stroke and lift or reduce pressure on the return stroke to preserve tooth sharpness. Never use a file as a pry bar or striking tool, as the hardened steel is brittle and can fracture.
