Value Collection SC70571237 Half Round File 6 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SC70571237 is a 6-inch American-pattern half round file designed for precision material removal in machining and general metalworking applications. The double cut pattern features two sets of teeth crossing at opposing angles, allowing faster stock removal than a single cut file while still leaving a workable surface finish. At 19/32 inches wide and 5/32 inches thick, the profile suits both flat and contoured workpiece surfaces. The tang end accepts a standard file handle. This tool is intended for use by machinists, toolmakers, and skilled tradespeople requiring controlled hand-filing performance.

This file is suited for machining tasks where both flat and curved surfaces need to be dressed, deburred, or fit to tolerance. The half round cross-section handles inside radii and flat faces within the same stroke. The smooth cut grade makes it appropriate for finishing passes on steel, cast iron, and similar ferrous materials where surface quality matters in the final fit. It is a practical bench tool in machine shops, maintenance facilities, and fabrication environments where precise hand filing is part of regular workflow.

Key Features

• Half round profile handles both flat surfaces and inside curves in a single tool
• Double cut tooth pattern accelerates material removal compared to single cut
• Smooth cut grade suited for finishing passes and close-tolerance fitting work
• 6-inch cut length fits standard bench-filing tasks without excess reach
• Tang end accepts most standard replacement file handles sold separately
• Non-flexible body maintains consistent cutting geometry under hand pressure

Compatibility

Designed as a standard American-pattern half round file compatible with conventional tang-style file handles used in machining and general metalworking applications.

Installation Notes

A licensed machinist or skilled tradesperson should always seat a secure handle onto the tang before use to prevent hand injury from an exposed tang end. Secure the workpiece in a vise before filing to maintain control and accuracy. Keep the file moving forward with consistent pressure and lift on the return stroke to preserve tooth sharpness. Files should not be used on materials harder than the file itself, and striking or prying with a file risks chipping the hardened teeth.
