Value Collection SC70571518 Half Round Bastard Cut File 10 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SC70571518 is a 10-inch half round bastard cut file designed for general machining and metal shaping work. It features a double cut tooth pattern, which removes material faster than single cut and is well-suited for rough stock removal on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The half round profile gives the technician two working surfaces: a flat face for flat or convex work and a curved face for concave surfaces such as bores and channels. The file terminates in a tang for use with a standard file handle. At 15/16 inches wide and 9/32 inches thick, it fits comfortably in a bench vise setup or handheld application.

This file is intended for use in machining, fabrication, and general metalworking environments. Bastard cut files at this length are a common shop staple for fitting parts, dressing welds, deburring edges, and opening slots. The double cut pattern makes it effective for fast material removal before finishing with a finer cut file. It is appropriate for trade professionals and maintenance technicians working on equipment in industrial, HVAC, plumbing, or mechanical service settings.

Key Features

• Half round profile provides flat and curved working surfaces in a single tool
• Double cut tooth pattern for fast, aggressive material removal

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or shop-stock half round bastard cut file for standard hand filing applications in machining and metalworking trades.

Installation Notes

Always install an appropriate file handle onto the tang before use to prevent hand injury from the exposed point. Secure the workpiece in a bench vise when practical to maintain control and reduce fatigue. File in one direction — on the forward stroke — lifting the file on the return stroke to extend tooth life. Inspect the file for cracks or broken teeth before each use and replace if damaged.
