Value Collection SC70571625 Half Round File 12 Inches

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SC70571625 is a 12-inch half round American-pattern file designed for general machining and metalworking applications. It features a double cut pattern with a second cut coarseness grade, making it well-suited for fast material removal on flat, curved, and contoured workpiece surfaces. The half round profile gives the technician two working faces: a flat side for straight surfaces and a curved side for concave profiles and inside radii. The file ships with a tang end for use with a separate handle. Overall width measures 1.125 inches and thickness measures 0.344 inches (11/32 inches).

This file is intended for machining trades, tool and die work, fabrication shops, and maintenance environments where hand filing of metal parts is required. The 12-inch length provides adequate leverage for controlled filing strokes on medium to large workpieces. Second cut coarseness sits between bastard and smooth grades, offering a balance of stock removal speed and surface finish quality. It is a single-piece hand tool with no moving parts, suitable for bench work or field use by machinists, millwrights, and general maintenance technicians.

Key Features

• Half round profile provides both a flat and a curved cutting face for versatile filing on multiple surface geometries
• Double cut pattern removes material efficiently across the full 12-inch cutting length
• Second cut coarseness grade balances stock removal rate with resulting surface finish
• Tang end accepts a standard file handle for a secure, controlled grip
• Non-flexible construction maintains rigidity during heavy filing strokes
• Overall width of 1.125 inches and thickness of 0.344 inches suit medium-scale workpieces

Compatibility

Designed as a standard American-pattern half round file compatible with any conventional file handle sized to accept a tang-style file. Suitable for hand filing of ferrous and non-ferrous metals in general machining and maintenance applications.

Installation Notes

Secure a properly sized file handle onto the tang before use to prevent hand injury from the exposed tang point. File in controlled forward strokes, lifting on the return stroke to preserve cutting teeth. Wear appropriate eye protection and gloves when filing metal workpieces. Inspect the file for cracks or broken teeth before each use and retire any damaged file immediately.
