Value Collection SC70570635 Round Double Cut File 12 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SC70570635 is a 12-inch round American-pattern file designed for smoothing, deburring, and shaping metal, wood, and plastic surfaces. It features a double cut pattern, which means two sets of parallel teeth cross at opposing angles to remove material faster and leave a smoother finish than a single cut file. The smooth cut grade makes it suitable for finishing work where surface quality matters. A tang end is included for use with a compatible file handle. This file is a standard hand tool used by machinists, pipefitters, HVAC technicians, and maintenance tradespeople in shop and field settings.

This file is appropriate for general-purpose material removal and finishing in residential, commercial, and industrial maintenance environments. Common applications include cleaning burrs from cut pipe ends, dressing metal edges after grinding, refining slots or openings in sheet metal, and fitting mechanical components. The round profile allows it to work in curved or circular cutouts where flat or half-round files cannot reach. It is sold individually and is ready to use with a separately sourced handle.

Key Features

• Double cut tooth pattern removes material efficiently while leaving a smooth finish
• Smooth cut grade suited for finishing passes and light material removal
• Round profile accesses circular openings, curved grooves, and tubular surfaces
• 12-inch cut length provides ample working surface for most trade applications
• Tang end compatible with standard replacement file handles
• Non-flexible construction maintains consistent cutting angle under pressure

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or supplemental hand file for use in standard file handle sets common to machining, plumbing, HVAC, and general maintenance applications.

Installation Notes

Always seat a properly sized handle onto the tang before use to prevent hand injury from the exposed tang end. Wear appropriate hand and eye protection when filing metal. Apply even, forward pressure along the stroke and lift the file on the return pass to preserve tooth life. Keep the file clean and dry, and use a file card to clear metal particles from the teeth during use.
