Value Collection SC70571526 Half Round File 10 Inches

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SC70571526 is a 10-inch American-pattern half round file designed for general machining and metalworking applications. It features a double cut pattern with a second cut coarseness, making it well suited for moderate stock removal and surface refinement on metals and other materials. The file measures 15/16 inches wide and 9/32 inches thick at the body, with a tang end for use with a standard file handle. At 0.56 pounds, it is lightweight enough for extended hand use. This is a non-flexible file intended for rigid hand filing tasks performed by machinists, toolmakers, maintenance technicians, and general metalworkers.

This half round double cut file is used in machine shops, maintenance facilities, and fabrication environments where controlled shaping, deburring, and smoothing of metal workpieces is required. The flat face handles flat surfaces and outside curves while the rounded face addresses concave profiles and inside radii. The second cut coarseness places it between a bastard cut and a smooth cut, offering a balance of material removal and surface finish suitable for fitting, finishing, and light stock removal work.

Key Features

• Half round profile provides two working surfaces: flat and curved
• Double cut pattern for efficient material removal with directional control
• Second cut coarseness balances stock removal and surface finish
• 10-inch length of cut suits a wide range of hand filing tasks
• Tang end accepts standard aftermarket or replacement file handles
• Non-flexible construction maintains consistent contact across the workpiece

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-use hand file compatible with any standard file handle sized for a tang-style American-pattern file.

Installation Notes

Always fit the tang into a properly sized file handle before use to prevent hand injury from an exposed tang. Secure the workpiece in a vise or fixture before filing to maintain control and accuracy. File in one direction with moderate pressure on the forward stroke and lift or reduce pressure on the return stroke to preserve the cutting teeth. Inspect the file periodically and use a file card or brush to clear chips and prevent pinning.
