Value Collection SC70570528 Round File 10 Inches Double Cut

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SC70570528 is a 10-inch American-pattern round file designed for material removal, shaping, and deburring on metal, wood, and plastic. This double-cut, second-cut file features a round profile measuring 3/8 inch in diameter and is fitted with a tang for use with a standard file handle. At 0.34 pounds, it is lightweight enough for extended hand use. The second-cut coarseness sits between bastard and smooth, making it well-suited for general stock removal while leaving a reasonably clean surface. It is a standard tool in metal fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and field service kits.

This file is appropriate for enlarging or rounding holes, filing internal curved surfaces, and finishing concave profiles on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. It is also used on harder woods and plastics. The round cross-section makes it the go-to choice when working inside pipe fittings, tubing ends, or circular cutouts. Trades that commonly use this file include HVAC technicians trimming sheet metal knockouts, plumbers cleaning burrs from cut pipe, and general maintenance mechanics performing fit-up work on fabricated parts.

Key Features

• 10-inch cut length suits most bench and field filing tasks
• Round profile at 3/8 inch diameter for internal curved surfaces and hole enlargement
• Double-cut pattern accelerates material removal compared to single-cut
• Second-cut coarseness balances stock removal with surface finish
• Tang end accepts standard file handles sold separately
• Non-flexible construction maintains consistent cutting angle under pressure

Compatibility

Designed as a standard American-pattern round file compatible with any file handle sized for a tang-style file. No proprietary fitment requirements apply.

Installation Notes

Always fit a proper handle onto the tang before use to prevent hand injury from the exposed point. Secure the workpiece in a vise when possible to allow consistent two-handed file strokes. Files should be used with forward pressure only and lifted on the return stroke to preserve the cutting teeth. Inspect the file for cracks or missing teeth before each use and replace if damaged.
