Value Collection SC70570429 Round File 8 in Double Cut

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SC70570429 is an 8-inch American-pattern round file designed for material removal and finishing in metal, wood, and plastic applications. It features a double cut pattern with a second cut coarseness, allowing efficient stock removal while leaving a reasonably smooth surface. The tang end accepts a standard file handle, giving the technician a secure grip during use. At 0.18 pounds, this file is lightweight and easy to maneuver in tight spaces. Machinists, pipefitters, plumbers, and general maintenance professionals reach for this style of file when enlarging holes, deburring pipe ends, or shaping curved surfaces.

This round file suits a wide range of trade and shop applications. Its 5/16-inch diameter profile fits standard round-file tasks such as cleaning up drilled holes, smoothing weld seams on curved surfaces, and fitting pipe fittings or conduit knockouts. The 8-inch cut length covers the full working face of the file. It is equally at home in a pipe shop, HVAC fabrication setting, electrical rough-in, or general maintenance environment where precise material removal on rounded or curved profiles is required.

Installation Notes

Always fit a properly sized file handle onto the tang before use to prevent hand injury from an exposed tang end. Secure the workpiece in a vise or clamp before filing to maintain control and protect the file teeth. Apply consistent, forward-stroke pressure and lift the file on the return stroke to extend tooth life. Inspect the file regularly for clogging and use a file card or brush to clear debris from the teeth.
