Value Collection SC70571534 Half Round Double Cut File 10 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SC70571534 is a 10-inch American-pattern half round file designed for material removal and surface finishing in machining and metalworking applications. The double cut pattern features two opposing rows of teeth that work together to remove material efficiently while leaving a smooth surface. At 15/16 inches wide and 9/32 inches thick, the half round profile gives the technician two working surfaces: a flat face for broad stock removal and a curved face for contoured or concave surfaces. The smooth cut designation makes this file appropriate for finishing passes and fine material removal rather than aggressive stock reduction. The tang end accepts a standard file handle.

This file suits bench work, toolroom use, and general machining tasks where controlled material removal is required on metal, plastics, or similar shop materials. The 10-inch length provides good leverage and surface contact for work on larger workpieces or in situations where a longer stroke improves control. The half round geometry is a standard choice when a job requires both flat and curved filing surfaces without switching tools. The smooth cut is most effective on ferrous and non-ferrous metals in finishing stages of hand filing work.

Key Features

• Half round profile provides flat and curved cutting surfaces in a single tool
• Double cut tooth pattern for efficient material removal with a smooth finish
• Smooth cut coarseness suited for finishing and fine stock removal
• 10-inch length of cut for extended stroke and leverage on larger workpieces
• Tang end compatible with standard file handles
• Non-flexible construction for consistent, controlled filing pressure

Compatibility

Designed as a standard American-pattern half round file suitable for general bench and machining applications where a 10-inch smooth-cut double file is specified.

Installation Notes

File installation requires a properly fitted handle secured to the tang before use to prevent hand injury. Machinists and toolroom technicians should ensure the workpiece is firmly clamped or vised before filing. Files should never be used without a handle, and the cutting direction should follow the natural stroke to avoid tooth damage. Inspect the file for cracks or damage before each use.
